Python Packages

When updating BYCEPS to a newer version, the set of required Python packages may change (additions, version upgrades/downgrades, removals).

Important

Before continuing, make sure that the virtual environment is set up and activated.

As with the installation, it’s probably a good idea to update pip to the current version:

(venv)$ pip install --upgrade pip

Then instruct pip to install the required Python dependencies (again, the same way as during the installation):

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements/core.txt

This will install new but yet missing packages and upgrade/downgrade existing packages. It will not remove no longer used packages, though, but that should not be an issue.

If you want to run the test suite and/or use development tools, update their requirements as well:

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
