Group By X
means put all those with the same value for X in the one group.
Group By X, Y
means put all those with the same values for both X and Y in the one group.
To illustrate using an example, let's say we have the following table, to do with who is attending what subject at a university:
Table: Subject_Selection
+---------+----------+----------+
| Subject | Semester | Attendee |
+---------+----------+----------+
| ITB001 | 1 | John |
| ITB001 | 1 | Bob |
| ITB001 | 1 | Mickey |
| ITB001 | 2 | Jenny |
| ITB001 | 2 | James |
| MKB114 | 1 | John |
| MKB114 | 1 | Erica |
+---------+----------+----------+
When you use a group by
on the subject column only; say:
select Subject, Count(*)
from Subject_Selection
group by Subject
You will get something like:
+---------+-------+
| Subject | Count |
+---------+-------+
| ITB001 | 5 |
| MKB114 | 2 |
+---------+-------+
...because there are 5 entries for ITB001, and 2 for MKB114
If we were to group by
two columns:
select Subject, Semester, Count(*)
from Subject_Selection
group by Subject, Semester
we would get this:
+---------+----------+-------+
| Subject | Semester | Count |
+---------+----------+-------+
| ITB001 | 1 | 3 |
| ITB001 | 2 | 2 |
| MKB114 | 1 | 2 |
+---------+----------+-------+
This is because, when we group by two columns, it is saying "Group them so that all of those with the same Subject and Semester are in the same group, and then calculate all the aggregate functions (Count, Sum, Average, etc.) for each of those groups". In this example, this is demonstrated by the fact that, when we count them, there are three people doing ITB001 in semester 1, and two doing it in semester 2. Both of the people doing MKB114 are in semester 1, so there is no row for semester 2 (no data fits into the group "MKB114, Semester 2")
Hopefully that makes sense.
There isn't a built-in flag yet, but you can use
pip list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
Note: there are infinite potential variations for this. I'm trying to keep this answer short and simple, but please do suggest variations in the comments!
In older version of pip
, you can use this instead:
pip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
The grep
is to skip editable ("-e") package definitions, as suggested by @jawache. (Yes, you could replace grep
+cut
with sed
or awk
or perl
or...).
The -n1
flag for xargs
prevents stopping everything if updating one package fails (thanks @andsens).

You could also use a function to directly group on:
