Identifying the dependency relationship for python packages installed with pip

Question

When I do a pip freeze I see large number of Python packages that I didn\'t explicitly install, e.g.

$ pip freeze
Cheetah==2.4.3
GnuPGInterface==0.3.2
Landsc         


        

Answer 1

You may also use a one line command which pipes the packages in requirements to pip show.

cut -d'=' -f1 requirements.txt | xargs pip show
