How to output the latest version of a pip package?

Similar to how we can run npm show {package} version to get the latest version available for any npm package, is there an equivalent command for pip/python?

I don't necessarily want to upgrade to that version, I would just like to be able to output the latest version number available for any package.

Fairly new in pip:

pip index versions --pre <package>

# example
numba (0.61.0rc2)
Available versions: 0.61.0rc2, 0.61.0rc1, 0.60.0 ... (long line) 0.1

Another way:

  1. find a wheel on wheelodex (a wheel, .whl file, is a big .zip file containing all the files that pip would install)
  2. click on one, then on "download" at the bottom
  3. list it with unzip -l

For example,

https://www.wheelodex.org/projects/numba/
# click on one, click "download" at the bottom
# cd e.g. ~/Downloads
unzip -l numba-0.60.0-cp39-cp39-anylinux2014_x86_64.manylinux_2_17_x86_64.whl
unzip -p xx.whl '*/METADATA'  # -p: pipe or stdout

Wheelodex also has View on PyPI and Reverse Dependencies,
e.g. "what are all the PyPi projects that depend on numba ?"

List outdated packages with the installed and the latest versions:

pip list --outdated

See the docs.

This command just shows the available versions of pip package, if I correctly understand your question.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip==

or to see any package versions:

pip install package_name==

P.s. Yes there will be an error, that says no match)
