    Awesome! It even gave me a warning when I hadn't activated my venv. It also gives you the option of which packages to upgrade after it finds all the new versions. Excellent work! Commented Aug 30, 2020 at 22:59

    conda handles all these updating issues, and guarantees entire environment integrity. pip is greedy and selfish and only installs or updates (or downgrades) what it needs to install current packages, sometimes downgrading core packages and breaking things. Conda handles package and environment management at once. Upgrading pip AND venv OR virtualenv (OR pip-whatever is one more unnecessary headache. I use pip as the last resort in conda environment when conda packages are not available. This pip upgrader package makes it easier to tolerate pip when conda packages are not available.
