[Feature request] Option to update Python Installation(s)

[LMS0815]

Please implement an option to (probe and) update outdated Python Installation(s) modules .

A script like this is working for me:

~/klippy-env/bin/pip list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1  | xargs -n1 ~/klippy-env/bin/pip install --upgrade
~/moonraker-env/bin/pip list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1  | xargs -n1 ~/moonraker-env/bin/pip install --upgrade

But I assume one need to take care of multiple instances.

Thank you.

Can you explain why this change/feature is needed? Klipper and Moonraker both provide a requirements.txt where the exact python dependencys including their required version numbers are listed. So Klipper and Moonraker both require or want a specific version of each corresponding package installed. If those requirements change, KIAUH will detect that and will rebuild the virtualenv with the updated requirements.

But I assume one need to take care of multiple instances.

All instances share the same virtualenv.

Thank you for your reply. I keep on getting warning messages about outdated PIP. As newer versions of pip contain bug fixes, and security improvements/vulnerability patches I like to be up to date. But I was not aware that Klipper and Moonraker maintain the requirements to a specific version because I assumed this is a minimum requirement.

Do you mean a yellow warning popping up, that Python 2.7 is EOL during the creation of the venv? Thats normal and shouldn't be an issue once Klipper is ready for pure Python 3 systems. In regards to PIP i think its best practice to upgrade pip globally anyways? If i am not wrong the command for that should be pip install --upgrade pip

Yes as you can see in the two following files, each package has a specific version assigned: https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/scripts/klippy-requirements.txt https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker/blob/master/scripts/moonraker-requirements.txt If newer versions than the ones specified in that textfile, i would assume they won't pick == but instead >=.

In addition to the yellow EOL warning I got a warning about PIP being outdated as well on both environments (2.7 and 3.x).

I got your point about the module versions and I assume the requirements are tested and known to be working. Therefor I support your approach maintaining the exact requirements.

Are you using the -r option?

~/klippy-env/bin/pip install -r https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/scripts/klippy-requirements.txt
~/moonraker-env/bin/pip install -r https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker/blob/master/scripts/moonraker-requirements.txt

But PIP is not mentioned. Therefor I would be happy if you can implement some monitor and update routine. The global update you mentioned above is "only" for the OS and dos not affect the virtual instances.

You probably need to update any Python environment (e.g.):

~/klippy-env/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
~/moonraker-env/bin/pip install --upgrade pip

PS: I am not sure about setuptools and wheel. I have no idea if they ate outdated or not.
