I’m able to update pip-managed packages, but how do I update pip itself? According to pip --version
, I currently have pip 1.1 installed in my virtualenv and I want to update to the latest version.
What’s the command for that? Do I need to use distribute or is there a native pip or virtualenv command? I’ve already tried pip update
and pip update pip
with no success.

pip
is just a PyPI package like any other; you could use it to upgrade itself the same way you would upgrade any package:
pip install --upgrade pip
On Windows the recommended command is:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
