PyInstaller and upgrades

[Paul Prescod]

Many applications these days can upgrade themselves in-place, or build on operating system infrastructure to do so.

In the context of Python apps, I'm inclined to want to use pip/PyPi to upgrade my app after deployment. But my impression from a previous discussion is that pip and PyInstaller are essentially incompatible.

Is there some technique that is common for PyInstaller users to upgrade their apps "in-place" and "automatically"?
