If you used 'pip' to install, then::

$ sudo pip install --upgrade dendropy

If you used 'setuptools', then::

$ sudo easy_install -U dendropy

Otherwise simply download the archive and run::

$ sudo setup.py install

Of course, the true geeks and hackers amongst you will have cloned the
GitHub repo, and are running 'live' out of that, so you would just
need to::

$ git pull
