Upgrade specific `pip` packages in Python
David Y.
—The problem
How can I upgrade specific Python packages using pip?
The solution
To upgrade an installed package, call pip install with the --upgrade flag.
pip install --upgrade Django
This will upgrade the package to the latest available versions. It will also upgrade-dependent packages where needed to satisfy the requirements of the new version. To upgrade to a specific version instead, specify it with ==, as below:
pip install --upgrade Django==3.2.16
