list(Link to this heading) ¶  Usage(Link to this heading) ¶  Unix/macOS  python - m pip list [ options ]  Copy to clipboard         Windows  py - m pip list [ options ]  Copy to clipboard           Description(Link to this heading) ¶   List installed packages, including editables. Packages are listed in a case-insensitive sorted order.   Options(Link to this heading) ¶     -o   ,  --outdated   (Link to this definition) ¶  List outdated packages (environment variable: PIP_OUTDATED  )     -u   ,  --uptodate   (Link to this definition) ¶  List uptodate packages (environment variable: PIP_UPTODATE  )     -e   ,  --editable   (Link to this definition) ¶  List editable projects. (environment variable: PIP_EDITABLE  )     -l   ,  --local   (Link to this definition) ¶  If in a virtualenv that has global access, do not list globally-installed packages. (environment variable: PIP_LOCAL  )    --user   (Link to this definition) ¶  Only output packages installed in user-site. (environment variable: PIP_USER  )    --path  <path>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Restrict to the specified installation path for listing packages (can be used multiple times). (environment variable: PIP_PATH  )    --pre   (Link to this definition) ¶  Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions. (environment variable: PIP_PRE  )    --format  <list_format>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Select the output format among: columns (default), freeze, or json. The ‘freeze’ format cannot be used with the --outdated option. (environment variable: PIP_FORMAT  )    --not-required   (Link to this definition) ¶  List packages that are not dependencies of installed packages. (environment variable: PIP_NOT_REQUIRED  )    --exclude-editable   (Link to this definition) ¶  Exclude editable package from output. (environment variable: PIP_EXCLUDE_EDITABLE  )    --include-editable   (Link to this definition) ¶  Include editable package from output. (environment variable: PIP_INCLUDE_EDITABLE  )    --exclude  <package>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Exclude specified package from the output (environment variable: PIP_EXCLUDE  )       -i   ,  --index-url  <url>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Base URL of the Python Package Index (default (https://pypi.org/simple) https://pypi.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. (environment variable: PIP_INDEX_URL  , PIP_PYPI_URL  )    --extra-index-url  <url>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url. Should follow the same rules as --index-url. (environment variable: PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL  )    --no-index   (Link to this definition) ¶  Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead). (environment variable: PIP_NO_INDEX  )     -f   ,  --find-links  <url>  (Link to this definition) ¶  If a URL or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives such as sdist (.tar.gz) or wheel (.whl) files. If a local path or (file://) file:// URL that’s a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing. Links to VCS project URLs are not supported. (environment variable: PIP_FIND_LINKS  )     Examples(Link to this heading) ¶  List installed packages (with the default column formatting).

additional column that shows the directory where the editable project is
located (i.e. the directory that contains the pyproject.toml  or setup.py  file). Unix/macOS  $  python -m pip list Package          Version  Editable project location ---------------- -------- ------------------------------------- pip              21.2.4 pip-test-package 0.1.1    /home/you/.venv/src/pip-test-package setuptools       57.4.0 wheel            0.36.2  Copy to clipboard         Windows  C:\> py -m pip list Package          Version  Editable project location ---------------- -------- ---------------------------------------- pip              21.2.4 pip-test-package 0.1.1    C:\Users\You\.venv\src\pip-test-package setuptools       57.4.0 wheel            0.36.2  Copy to clipboard            The json format outputs an additional editable_project_location  field. Unix/macOS  $  python -m pip list --format= json |  python -m json.tool [ { "name": "pip", "version": "21.2.4", }, { "name": "pip-test-package", "version": "0.1.1", "editable_project_location": "/home/you/.venv/src/pip-test-package" }, { "name": "setuptools", "version": "57.4.0" }, { "name": "wheel", "version": "0.36.2" } ]  Copy to clipboard         Windows  C:\> py -m pip list --format=json | py -m json.tool [ { "name": "pip", "version": "21.2.4", }, { "name": "pip-test-package", "version": "0.1.1", "editable_project_location": "C:\Users\You\.venv\src\pip-test-package" }, { "name": "setuptools", "version": "57.4.0" }, { "name": "wheel", "version": "0.36.2" } ]  Copy to clipboard            Note Contrary to the freeze  command, pip list --format=freeze  will not
report editable install information, but the version of the package at the
time it was installed.
