Updating XlsxWriter with pip

[Josh English]

I don't know if anyone else is running into this, or if i'm missing one of those really basic just above make-sure-the-computer-is-on-first problems.

I cannot update XlsxWriter beyond version 0.2.6. 

I have uninstalled using pip, reinstalled, upgraded, and it still only installs 0.2.6.

During all of these commands, I see it downloading 0.3.2, but it doesn't install it.

I'm thinking that maybe pip is saving the old install files and grabbing one of those when it gets around to the download, but I don't knoww here pip stores these files, so I don't know where to delete them from.

Even pip install xlsxwriter==0.3.2 gets me 0.2.6.

Any suggestions?

Well, if all else fails, you can always just unpack the xlsxwriter
directory and plop it wherever you like (such as site-packages, or
even your project directory if need be). If there's an old xlsxwriter
lying around somewhere ahead of the new xlsxwriter in Python's search
path, naturally that should be removed.

why don't you down load the tarball

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XlsxWriter/0.3.3

and try:

    >>> pip install <tarball>

or

untar the tarball first and run:

    $ python setup.py
