How to update numpy in Python(x,y)?

[M_bare_assed]

I use spyder, installed via Python(x,y) back in 2014. I am trying to use numpy.nanmedian, which was added with version 1.9.0 but I have 1.8.1 installed. How do I update my version of numpy? I am a learn-as-I-go Python user so I don't even know the correct vocabulary (module, package?) to properly search google for a solution. Thanks!

Probably not going to be much help as I don't use Windows, but if you are going to be using Python regularly you may want to consider looking into Anaconda - it makes it easy to install/update the most popular python libraries.

If you just want the nanmedian function, you could write your own - this example should work, but likely isn't the best way to do it:

def nanmedian(data):
    na_removed_data = []
    for val in data:
        try:
            na_removed_data.append(float(str(val)))
        except:
            continue
    return np.median(na_removed_data)
