title: How to update a local package with pip
body: <p>The answers <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15746675/how-to-write-a-python-module-package">here</a> show how to install a local package using pip. However, I am also interested in knowing how to update a package. For example, if I previously had installed package with version 1.0.0, and now I want to replace it with 1.0.1, how would I do that? One method I can think of is to use pip uninstall and then install the new one, but is there a more elegant way?</p>
