SCOOBY(1)

💖 NAME 💖

scooby — it's giving Great Dane turned Python environment detective 🐾🕵️‍♀️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scooby [-h] [--report REPORT] [--no-opt] [--sort] [--version]
[--grep PATTERN] [--track SCRIPT] [packages ...]

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

• packages — the names of the packages you want reported on. just hand them over bestie 🫶

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

• -h, --help — pops a help message and then dips out, that's it 💅
• --report, -r REPORT — prints Report() for this package. lowkey the main event 🔥
• --no-opt — do not show the default optional packages. defaults to True if you're using --report, and defaults to False otherwise. yes the default flips based on vibes, that's just how it is 🙈
• --sort — sorts the packages when the report is shown. alphabetize her 👑
• --version, -v — only displays the scooby(1) version. nothing else, no extras, just the number 🎀
• --grep, -g PATTERN — lists installed packages whose names match PATTERN (case-insensitive substring match, or fnmatch(3) / glob(7) if PATTERN contains *, ?, or [). repeatable, so go off, stack as many as you want 🦋
• --track SCRIPT — runs a Python SCRIPT with import tracking enabled, then prints a TrackedReport. any additional positional arguments get forwarded to the script as sys.argv[1:] (flags prefixed with - are consumed by scooby itself, so if you want them to actually reach the script, separate them with --). not me watching every single import happen in real time 👀

heads up bestie: those --prefixed flags? scooby eats them for breakfast. if the script needs them, the -- separator is literally your only way through. no cap 💀
