Update the Python agent

To take full advantage of our latest features, enhancements, and important security patches, we recommend you update your Python agent to the latest version. For additional information about specific agent updates, refer to the Python agent release notes.

Update with Python package index (PyPi)

The Python agent package is listed on PyPi at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/newrelic. To update with a specific package, follow the corresponding instructions:

Python package	Installation procedures
pip	To update the `newrelic` package directly from PyPi, run: bash `$pip install --upgrade newrelic` If you have New Relic in your `requirements.txt` file, you can do a mass update of all required packages by running: bash `$pip install -r requirements.txt`
easy_install	To update using `easy_install`, run: bash `$easy_install --upgrade newrelic` ヒント We recommend using `pip` rather than using `easy_install`, because `pip` will correctly remove old versions when updating the agent software.
buildout	Install the package by creating an appropriate section for the `newrelic` package using the `zc.recipe.egg` recipe.
