Can I force pip to reinstall the current version?

Question

I\'ve come across situations where a current version of a package seems not to be working and requires reinstallation. But pip install -U won\'t touch a package

Answer 1

If you want to reinstall packages specified in a requirements.txt file, without upgrading, so just reinstall the specific versions specified in the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt --ignore-installed
