Stuck at "Checking..." forever

[achillesrasquinha]

pipupgrade uses pip to check for outdated packages (pip list --outdated) to be precise. This causes pip to enter into an infinite loop for some reason (pip issue).

If you're on macOS, try deleting the pip cache.

$ rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/pip

else

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/pip

This should've been fixed in newer releases of pip. We've switched to doing things differently w.r.t. this cache management.

@pradyunsg Thanks for the update! Would this project be helpful in anyway to the core pip package? Would be open to send in a PR if so.

This bug has not been resolved. The problem is still presented in lates Windows+Python environment.
