update all pip packages at once

##Simple package to update pip packages.

####You can update all packages:

pip_updater -a

(not sure if you'd need to be logged into your shell with sudo for this, as I only install pip packages locally.)

####Or update packages installed locally for your user:

pip_updater -l

###To install pip_updater just clone the repo, then run:

# to install system-wide:
python setup.py install

# to install just for your user (eg. if you don't have write privileges on a shared filesystem):
python setup.py install --user

If the later route is taken, then it just installs the package locally for your user, rather than installing system-wide; so in order to be able to use it, you need to tell your path where to look for it, like so: (the following info can likely be narrowed down by executing: python -c "import site; print site.getuserbase()" )

For *nix's:

Add this to your .bashrc/.zshrc:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

For Mac:

Either add the same thing as used by *nix's above, or if that doesn't work, then add something like this in your .bashrc/.zshrc:

export PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/[2.X or 3.X]/bin:$PATH

For Windows:

Not sure, though you'd have to add the analogous thing to whatever is the equivalent of a shell config file (eg. would have to add to your path the area where executable stuff gets installed at the "user" level with python).

suggested as per PEP370 -- particularly see the "user script directory" section:

%APPDATA%/Python/Scripts

...hope this helps.
