PIP-DEBUG(1)

📦 version 23.2.1, in centos-stream 9

💅 PIP-DEBUG(1) — the pip-debug page, brought to you by the pip manual 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

pip-debug — literally the description of the pip debug command. That's the whole NAME vibe, bestie. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Display debug information. That's it. That's the job. 🎀

🫶 USAGE 🫶

python -m pip debug <options>
WARNING: This command is only meant for debugging. Its options and outputs are provisional and may change without notice. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --platform <platform> — only use wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform of the running system. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple platforms supported by the target interpreter. Slay those target platforms. 🌈
  • --python-version <python_version> — the Python interpreter version to use for wheel and "Requires-Python" compatibility checks. Defaults to a version derived from the running interpreter. The version can be specified using up to three dot-separated integers (e.g. "3" for 3.0.0, "3.7" for 3.7.0, or "3.7.3"). A major-minor version can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. "37" for 3.7.0). Numbers but make it fashion. 🔥
  • --implementation <implementation> — only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp', or 'ip'. If not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used. Use 'py' to force implementation-agnostic wheels. Iconic little tags. 👑
  • --abi <abi> — only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. 'pypy_41'. If not specified, then the current interpreter abi tag is used. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple abis supported by the target interpreter. Generally you will need to specify --implementation, --platform, and --python-version when using this option. Big compatibility energy, no cap. 🧚
