pip-upgrade VS doorstop

Hey guys, I found a neat little project a few months ago and it's been super helpful to me, so I figured that I'd share it here. It's called pip-upgrade-tool and as the title says, it allows for an "upgrade all" mechanic in pip, since it currently doesn't have an official way of doing this. There is the way to upgrade everything by piping pip freeze to grep and cut and xargs, but that doesn't take into account the dependencies that each package has. This project, on the other hand, does take into account dependencies, just like a normal package manager. After installation with pip3 install pip-upgrade-tool, you can just run pip-upgrade in a terminal to upgrade everything. This package can run in and out of virtual environments, and has the ability to exclude packages as well. I actually contributed to it when I first found out about it, and added the ability to use a configuration file for permanent configurations (e.g. permanent excluded packages). Hope you guys find this as useful as I do!

I really like to use the pip-upgrade pip package to upgrade all of my packages, it doesn't break dependencies like normal pip would do with something like pip3 list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip3 install -U.

Zooming into "requirements management" (and out of "developing test cases") there's a couple of Open Source projects that address specifically this important branch of software development. I like both approaches and I think they might be used in different situations. By the way, the creators of these two projects are having useful conversations on aspects of their solutions so you might want to try both and see what's leading from your point of view.
