Somehow pip --upgrade doesn't upgrade any packages.
I'm on OSX El Capitan (10.11.3) and installed python using brew install python
Python: /usr/local/bin/python@ -> ../Cellar/python/2.7.11/bin/python
Pip: /usr/local/bin/pip@ -> ../Cellar/python/2.7.11/bin/pip
After successful install I run pip install --upgrade pip.
Full output:
$ pip install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip

You are using pip version 8.0.2, however version 8.1.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Why doesn't pip install the new version?
Update
I think it has something to do with my ~/.pydistutils.cfg file which fixes the DistutilsOptionError: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both error when running pip. I followed these instructions

b is available.” You can run “pip install --upgrade pip” to install and use the new version of pip. To update pip2 or pip3 using this command, only replace the first pip with the pip version.
Upgrade Or Downgrade To Specific Pip Version If you want to upgrade or downgrade your version of pip to a specific version on a Mac, you can do this by adding a pip==<version> flag to the end of your update command.
For example, you may need to install an older version of a package if the package has changed in a way that is not compatible with the version of Python you have installed, with other packages that you have installed, or with your Python code.
The pip install command always installs the latest published version of a package, but sometimes your code requires a specific package version to work correctly.
$ sudo pip install -U pip
