Re: Python Tool Pip upgrade message

TimN

Hi Paul,

Total newbie to Python and pip install on Alteryx server but I'm trying upgrade to a newer version of exchangelib and requests.  We're still on an older release of Alteryx so wondering what pip command is or right way to upgrade those modules.  I don't want to risk messing up server install so any advice or help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi TimN,

 

Could you Open Alteryx as an Admin, by right clicking on the icon and selecting run as administrator, and pull a python tool down onto the canvas. Then try this:

Thanks, James.  I tried but forgot to mention we go thru a Proxy server.  Can you tell the command line version of this?  I do something like this:

 

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host xxxxx -i xxxxx/pypi-proxy/simple pillow.

 

When I ran as you said it did not error out but I don't think it upgraded.

You can utilize these templates:

 

#No password and username
Alteryx.installPackages(package="exchangelib",install_type="install --upgrade --proxy proxy.server:port") 

#With password and username
Alteryx.installPackages(package="exchangelib",install_type="install --upgrade --proxy [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port") 

For future reference the help documentation for installing packages is here:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-To-Use-Alteryx-installPackages-...

 

And, as Alteryx.installPackages is just a wrapper for pip install you can also look here for reference:
