Following [this thread](https://github.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub/issues/631), I need to upgrade native authenticator. I couldn’t find the authenticator in pip list, so after some research:

> ./opt/tljh/hub/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jupyterhub\_nativeauthenticator-0.0.5.dist-info  
> ./opt/tljh/hub/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nativeauthenticator  
> ./opt/tljh/hub/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nativeauthenticator/nativeauthenticator.py  
> ./opt/tljh/hub/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nativeauthenticator/ **pycache** /nativeauthenticator.cpython-36.pyc

How can I safely upgrade it?

thank you
