PIP-DEBUG(1)

💖 PIP-DEBUG(1) — a pip manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, this is the pip manual page for pip-debug, and it’s giving “debug info only, don’t get attached.” 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

pip-debug — literally the description of the pip debug command. That’s the whole assignment, iykyk.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It’s here to display debug information. That’s the vibe. 🫶

---

🎀 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. So don’t build your whole personality on them, fr fr. 😭

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --platform <platform> — only use wheels that are compatible with <platform>. It defaults to the platform of the running system. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple platforms supported by the target interpreter. (environment variable: PIP_PLATFORM)
• --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. You can specify the version 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). (environment variable: PIP_PYTHON_VERSION)
• --implementation <implementation> — only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp', or 'ip'. If it’s not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used. Use 'py' to force implementation-agnostic wheels. (environment variable: PIP_IMPLEMENTATION)
• --abi <abi> — only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. 'pypy_41'. If it’s 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’ll need to specify --implementation, --platform, and --python-version when you use this option. (environment variable: PIP_ABI)
