How can I update all python modules I have installed on ubuntu?

A:
Checkout setuptools (a/k/a "easy_install"), the classic way of doing it, or distribute, the new way to handle all your Python module installation needs.

A:
Ubuntu's repositories usually contain up-to-date versions of Python modules (prefixed with python-) and if you do an apt-get dist-upgrade will update any that you've installed from the repos.
As for packages you may have installed with easy_install, you could use distribute to upgrade them.
Alternatively, you can construct a list of packages you have installed with yolk, and pass the packages in the list from yolk -l to easy_install.
