I have pip installed for python3:

$ pip3 -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.4)

If I try to upgrade to Version 8, this is what I get:

$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
Downloading/unpacking pip from https://pypi.python.org/packages/9c/32/004ce0852e0a127f07f358b715015763273799bd798956fa930814b60f39/pip-8.1.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=0570520434c5b600d89ec95393b2650b

Installing collected packages: pip

Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, owned by OS

Can anyone tell me why it won't upgrade to a newer version?

  • Anaconda looks interesting! But for now I'd like to stick to virtualenv and pip. Maybe I'll give it a shot on my next project.

  • Anaconda install a lot of packages and some features as Jupyter Notebook. It's very easy to install and you save a lot of time. In other words, it prepares a nice pyhton environment. Take it a try.
