while running a pip install
script I get the following warning:
You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.0 is available
This is very strange. Did the pip project just upgrade from version 10 to version 18? Why?
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.
New software releases can bring bug fixes, new features, and faster performance. For example, NumPy 1.20 added type annotations, and improved performance by using SIMD when possible. If you're installing NumPy, you might want to install the newest version.
Once pip has a list of compatible distributions, it sorts them by version, chooses the most recent version, and then chooses the "best" distribution for that version. It prefers binary wheels if there are any, and if they are multiple it chooses the one most specific to the install environment.
pip 22.2.2. The PyPA recommended tool for installing Python packages.
First point in the release notes:
