Sent: Saturday, February 9, 2013 3:02 AM Subject: [Tutor] Which pip
for Ubuntu 12.04
How important is it to have the latest pip installed?
Initially I want to use it to install the latest pymongo driver for
mongoDB. The pip version in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories is 1.0.1.
I see on
http://www.pip-installer.org/**en/latest/<http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/>the
version is
1.2.1.
It certainly would be easier to install from the repositories but
will that version work to install the latest python packages?
Thanks, Jim
You could just try it? And downloading it and then doing sudo tar
-xvr pip.tar.gz, cd ..., sudo python setup.py isn't that hard, is
it?
I usually install from the repositories or maybe a ppa so I don't
believe
I have ever done an install from a tar. If necessary I will
familiarize
myself with the command you gave (yes I saw your followup changing
-xvr to
-xvf) and install that way.
However, I still wonder if using the outdated pip from the repository
will allow me to install the latest python packages? Will trying to
use an
outdated pip cause me problems?
I doubt it will. Have a look at the pip changelog to see what has been
changed.
Timo
But you're right, I also nnoticed that the Canonical repositories are
a little outdated sometimes. Would be nice if it's possible to add
pypi.org, so updating would be easier.

Thanks, Jim

You can upgrade pip with pip i believe:
jcg@jcg-desktop:~/code/python$ pip install pip
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pip in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7
Cleaning up...
jcg@jcg-desktop:~/code/python$
jcg@jcg-desktop:~/code/python$ pip install --upgrade pip
Be sure to sudo before if you don't have permissions.
I tried this on my laptop with the following results:
jfb@jfb-tp:~$ pip --version
pip 1.0 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
jfb@jfb-tp:~$ pip install pip
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pip in
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Cleaning up...
jfb@jfb-tp:~$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip

I not sure what the significance of the missing *.txt and *.html files
is but it looks like I have a path problem. I would appreciate any
pointers from anyone who has already solved this.
Thanks, Jim
Apparently I was wrong about the path problem. I closed the terminal I
used for the update and opened another session and now I get:
$pip --version
pip 1.2.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
I guess the real test will come when I attempt to use it to install a
package.
Regards, Jim
