pip search¶

Usage¶

Unix/macOS

python -m pip search [options] <query>

Windows

Description¶

Attention

PyPI no longer supports pip search (or XML-RPC search). Please use https://pypi.org/search (via a browser) instead. See https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html#deprecated-methods for more information.

However, XML-RPC search (and this command) may still be supported by indexes other than PyPI.

Search for PyPI packages whose name or summary contains <query>.

Options¶

-i, --index <url>¶

Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.org/pypi)

(environment variable: PIP_INDEX)

Unix/macOS
