# pip-check
pip-check gives you a quick overview of all installed packages and their
update status. Under the hood it calls `pip list --outdated --format=columns`
and transforms it into a more user-friendly table.
pip-check also supports uv, or pip at any location. Pass the `pip`
command using `--cmd`:
```
pip-check -c pip3
pip-check -c ".venv/bin/pip"
pip-check -c "uv pip"
```
## Installation:
```
pip install pip-check
```
Or Install the last version that runs on Python 2.7 or 3.4:
```
pip install pip-check==2.5.2
```
## Usage:
```bash
$ pip-check -h
usage: __init__.py [-h] [-a] [-c PIP_CMD] [-l] [-r] [-f] [-H] [-u] [-U]
A quick overview of all installed packages and their update status. Supports `pip` or `uv pip`.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a, --ascii Display as ASCII Table
-c, --cmd PIP_CMD The [uv] pip executable to run. E.g.: `/path/to/pip` or `uv pip`. Default: `pip`
-l, --local Show only virtualenv installed packages. (pip only)
-r, --not-required List only packages that are not dependencies of installed packages. (pip only)
-f, --full-version Show full version strings.
-H, --hide-unchanged Do not show "unchanged" packages.
-u, --show-update Show update instructions for updatable packages. (pip only)
-U, --user Show only user installed packages. (pip only)
```
## Local Development
pip-check uses `uv` for local development.
```
uv sync # Create a .venv and install dependencies
uv build # Build distribution packages
uvx uv-publish # Publish on Pypi
```
### Testing:
Test against a variation of Python versions:
```bash
$ uv run nox
```

network problems.
- Update instructions will now add ``--user`` in case the pip-check command
should only show user packages as well.
v2.5.2 (2019-08-08):
- This is the last version that runs on Python 2.7. Install it with
``pip install pip-check==2.5.2``
- Windows color fixes.
v2.5.1 (2019-08-08):
