Hi all, within this e-mail I'd like to inquire why the actual available package: python-pip-10.0.1-lp152.4.6.1.src.rpm
is completely outdated. An update fails with the message: You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 21.2.4 is available.
I could not find out under https://build.opensuse.org/search?search_text=python3-pip, any available update.
You could try:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/python3-pip --> Show python3-pip for other distributions -> show experimental packages -> devel:languages:python:backports -> https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/devel:languages:python:backports...
There you find a pyhton3-pip-20.2.4 package.
OTOH, the (rude) general recommendation for Python on Leap 15.X is: Use venvs, pip --user, or get lost. The fact that you are trying to use pip indicates that you are on the path to do something to this effect anyway. So why not update pip over pip first?
Commands (untested, I don't have a Leap 15.2 with old pip lying around):
$ python3 -m venv myenv $ source myenv/bin/activate (myenv) $ pip -U pip
Incomprehensible is also for me, why there is such a high difference in the release number (10.0.1 ---> 21.2.4), nor who is current maintainer for this package.
Constant source of confusion. The python stack on Leap is basically left as is and only sees marginal updates where absolutely necessary. If you want up to date packages, use Tumbleweed.
No this is even more confusing because someone has explicitly touched it to make it older then what we are shipping everywhere else. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
