`pip list -o` will tell you for which packages there are upgrades available. `pip install -U ...` will upgrade packages. Be careful, though. With `apt`, you usually have (`apt`) sources representing a consistent package universe. Someone tests that package upgrades in this universe do not break other packages (in this universe). Because of this, upgrading poses low risk. `PyPI` does not guarantes consistency. A new package version may be incompatible to a previous one -- and with other package you have installed. I do not think that you would want to auto-upgrade all installed packages. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
