Python Tool Pip upgrade message

Alteryx.installPackages() function in Alteryx Python tool reports that pip should be upgraded.

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I cannot get this to upgrade. I have tried within the tool and from the command line where miniconda is located with no luck.

Hi @_richardr,

Thank you for posting!

Pip -the Python package manager used by Alteryx.installPackages()- tends to be pushy in terms of upgrade. So my first question would be : why would you like to upgrade?

If you would still to move forward -and you accept the fact that an error with pip upgrade may lead to a full reinstall of Alteryx Designer- then you could use the following commands from Python tool. Note that you will need to run Designer as administrator in the case of a admin version of the product

from ayx import Package
Package.installPackages(package='pip',install_type='install --upgrade')

Example:

Reason is I have been trying to get geopandas to install and keep getting errors. I was trying to resolve any other issues and the pip version that was 9 (9 to 18) revisions old kind of stood out.

Unfortunately this did not help my geopandas issue. I will probably use another library.
