Usage


pip list [options]

Description

List installed packages, including editables.

Packages are listed in a case-insensitive sorted order.

Options

-o, --outdated

List outdated packages

List editable projects.

-l, --local

If in a virtualenv that has global access, do not list globally-installed packages.

--user

Only output packages installed in user-site.

--pre

Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

--format <list_format>

Select the output format among: legacy (default), columns, freeze or json.

--not-required

List packages that are not dependencies of installed packages.

-i, --index-url <url>

Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.python.org/simple). This should point to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory laid out in the same format.

--extra-index-url <url>

Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url. Should follow the same rules as --index-url.

--no-index

Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).

-f, --find-links <url>

If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that's a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.

Enable the processing of dependency links.
