Pip Upgrade All

[diloreto]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

Can we implement a feature (parameter?) to upgrade all packages at once? This has been a feature request for a while, and people have only been able to solve it via bash scripts. In fact it has been upvoted on SO almost 1600 times as of today.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love to just type in something like pip upgrade all (with proper flags for global/local) and all packages upgrade.

I have X python packages installed and don't want to upgrade each one at a time.

Alternative Solutions

The current only solution is to use Unix bash in conjunction with Pip to upgrade. Here is the exact code that people are using (from SO):
pip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U

Additional context

Please see the SO page, this request has been upvoted ~1400 times.
Thanks!
