PIP-LIST(1)

🎀 pip-list: the manual page, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to pip-list — that's the pip manual page for the pip list command, and it's literally giving package-list main character energy rn 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pip-list — description of pip list command. That's the whole name vibe, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command lists installed packages, including editables. The packages are listed in a case-insensitive sorted order — so uppercase and lowercase besties don't get to start drama in the sort, periodt 💖

✨ USAGE ✨

Run it like this, bestie:

python -m pip list [options]

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's every flag and every environment variable — no skipped lore, fr fr:

• -o, --outdated — List outdated packages. (environment variable: PIP_OUTDATED)
• -u, --uptodate — List uptodate packages. (environment variable: PIP_UPTODATE)
