# UpgradePipPkgs
> Tool for upgrading all `pip` packages within a Python environment using just one command.
---
## About
- **_`UpgradePipPkgs`_** can upgrade all of your `pip` packages using one of two methods:
**Method 1:**
> **First gather all outdated packages using the command `pip list --outdated`, then pass results to a list of outdated packages to be upgraded.**
- This method is generally more efficient than the following method, as only outdated packages are passed to upgrade process.
- Unfortunately doesn't take into account package dependencies relying on specific package versions to function properly.
---
**Method 2:**
> **Iterate over _all_ installed packages, passing the command `pip install --upgrade {pkgname}` over each one.**
- This method takes more time overall, but is _"safer"_.
- _"Safer"_ in this context means that package dependencies are corrected upon attempting upgrade on a package that specifies its dependencies, downgrading specific package versions where necessary.
- Note that **not all packages will be able to downgrade**, as the order of packages upgraded is relevant to whether incorrect version dependencies are corrected.
- For example, let's assume **`PackA`** requires **`PackB<=1.0.0`** as a dependency:
1. **`PackA`** will be checked for available upgrade first, and will check for installed dependency pkg **`PackB<=1.0.0`**, installing it if not already installed.
2. `PackB` is then checked, and has a new version available, `1.1.0`.
3. `PackB-1.0.0` is then upgraded to `1.1.0`, but now `PackA` can't function correctly due to incorrect dependency version.
4. This can easily be fixed by reinstalling `PackA` using the `pip` install command: "`pip install PackA`".
- You can review past results/program output in the application's log file, which can be found here:
- `"~/UpgradePipPkgs/logs/pip_pkg_upgrade_log.log"`

### **Manual Installation**
> _Not_ recommended.
1. Before use, navigate to intended installation location, and create a new directory.
2. Clone repository with the git client of your preference.
3. Install all dependencies for this package within said directory by entering the following:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
- **(Optional)** move installation directory to `"~/path/to/Python/Libs/site_packages"` to be able to import this package to a Python program like any other importable package.
**Done!**
