How to restore previous package version in pip?

Question

I work in two machines separately with two pandas versions (yes, I know this is not ideal), and I have recently tried to upgrade my pandas package in one of my machines, but now I am experiencing tons of bugs. The thing is, my requirements.txt had registered only the pandas version of my other machine (the one I did not upgrade). So now I need to downgrade my first machine package to the previous version I was working with, but I don't what version that is.

With that said, is there any way I could find an upgrade log, or maybe a built-in pip tool that might help me downgrade pandas version to whatever the previous version was?

Thank in advance

Answer 2

by default pip only logs into the console, if you still have it open you could search on it, for future reference it's possible to specify a log file check https://stackoverflow.com/a/53844983/3395862

I am assuming you are not using a version control system like git either, so I am afraid your best bet is to install a pandas version that roughly matches the date your code was created from this list
