What version of Pyramid do I have and what's the best way to update?

Question

I'm using Pyramid and I'm wondering how I can check what version I'm currently using. Also, how can I update my Pyramid?

Answer 1

To know which version of pyramid you have, you can run this in a python console :

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("pyramid").version

To update, you could run pip install --upgrade pyramid, but in order to update pyramid and all its dependencies, I advice you to replace your current virtualenv and replace it with a new one, with a fresh install of pyramid. The installation procedure in the documentation should help you if you are not sure about how to do that.
