Hi,
I believe that Pythonista can be very useful for the scientific community but the installed packages are outdated. Especially matplotlib which has a new version 2. How can we update these packages?
@behnam, I don't know a lot about this. But I assume the answer if there is one would be using the utility StaSh. I tried it and it did not work. The session output below. Sometimes the author/contributors to this project can provide an alt way to install a package. Not sure if it's possible in this case though.

You can update pure python modules. matplotlib is not pure, so you cannot update it.
