Cannot upgrade pip 9.0.1 to 9.0.3 - requirement already satisfied

Question

I'm trying to update pip using pip install --upgrade pip, but I get a "requirement satisfied" error and an "outdated version" message at the same time

$ pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in 
/Users/user/Envs/proj/lib/python2.7/site-packages
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 9.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' 
command.

How do I update?

Misdate

Do you by any chance have pip 9.0.3 in your global Python, but 9.0.1 in a virtualenv? That shouldn't be a problem, but it seems more likely to go wrong than any other combination I can think of. – Felic

Answer 1

Recently, Python.org sites stopped supporting TLS version 1.0 and 1.1, which could be causing the chicken-and-egg problem you are facing. Try upgrading pip without using pip:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

Crosslet

Fails on Windows 7: 'curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. – Seale

@StevenVascellaro perhaps just download it directly from the link above and run python get-pip.py? Also later versions of Python seem to be shipped with pip included – Crosslet

Worked for me on Mac. – Telpherage

For those who want to upgrade pip3, run the same command as above but use python3 instead of python. – Military

No go for me: curl: (35) schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate. – Chequerboard

This gave me the same error: Could not fetch URL pypi.org/simple/pip: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/pip/ (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",)) - skipping – Inexpugnable

Answer 2

These two commands worked for me:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

then:

python get-pip.py

No go for me: curl: (35) schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate. – Chequerboard

Thank this solution worked best for me by paul (to split Anupam's answer into two steps) because of a permission error running the get-pip.py script after curl downloads it. Changing the last line to sudo python get-pip.py was the trick. FINALLY upgraded pip beyond 9.0.x – Kuwait

Answer 3

Try:
Right Click Anaconda Prompt (Run as Admin)

>> conda update pip

(It worked for me)

Answer 4

The curl answer above didn't work for me. This worked for me

sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Yeah I got the same SSL error that inspired this. Gaaaahhh! – Abell

Answer 5

This worked for me in windows with Anaconda3: Add **\Anaconda3\Library\bin to windows path

set path=anaconda_install_path\Anaconda3\Library\bin to windows path;%path%

Answer 6

Apparently the issue is with Anaconda. This solution worked for me: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9746#issuecomment-616314792
