$ pip install --upgrade yolk3k
Yolk is a Python tool for obtaining information about installed Python packages and querying packages available on PyPI (Python Package Index).
You can see which packages are active, non-active or in development mode and show you which have newer versions available by querying PyPI.
Usage Examples:
$ yolk -l
List all installed Python packages
$ yolk -a
List only the activated packages installed (Activated packages are
normal packages on sys.path you can import)
$ yolk -n
List only the non-activated (--multi-version) packages installed
$ yolk -l -f License,Author nose==1.0
Show the license and author for version 1.0 of the package `nose`
$ yolk --entry-map nose
Show entry map for the nose package
$ yolk --entry-points nose.plugins
Show all setuptools entry points for nose.plugins
These options query PyPI:
$ yolk -U pkg_name
Shows if an update for pkg_name is available by querying PyPI
$ yolk -U
Checks PyPI to see if any installed Python packages have updates
available.
$ yolk -F Paste
