The instructions given here for <tt>pip</tt>-installed Python software only
In these instructions, we have updated each outdated package one by one.
<tt>pip</tt> in its current state doesn't allow updating all packages in a
virtual environment at once with a simple command
(cf. [https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/59 pip issue #59]). However, with a
bit of plumbing, it is possible to write a script that does that: see
[http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=27054&start=105#p274118 this message on the FlightGear forum]
for an example (the error handling may be imperfect, so watch the updates as
they are going if you use such a script).
