How can I display vcs revision of Python package installed with pip from vcs?

问题

After installing some package with pip from vcs like this
pip install git+https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests.git@355b97165c#requests
how can I display the vcs revision/commit/branch/tag (355b97165c in this example) used to install it?

回答1:

There's currently no way to do this because url used during installation is not being recorded anywhere. However there's work in progress to add such functionality. See Continuing Feature/record download info pull request.

I'd like to thank dstufft from #pip IRC channel for answering my question and pointing me to this pull request (which builds upon his pull request).
