With pip list, we can see the install packages in our environment. There is no problem with that. We can also write them to a req.txt file with pip freeze and quickly load them in other environments with this req.txt file. My question here is, for example, when we install pandas, libraries such as numpy are installed with them, and we can see other libraries installed outside of pandas with pip list. Can I use an option with pip list to see only the main libraries I have installed here? For example, is there an option to show only pandas (no libraries like numpy) when I do a pip list?

  • "Can I use an option with pip list to see only the main libraries I have installed here?" Usually that information should be found in the setup.py, setup.cfg, or pyproject.toml of the project. – flakes Jan 30 '23 at 07:11

You can use --not-required flag. This will list packages that are not dependencies of installed packages.

python -m pip list --not-required

or if pip is in $PATH

pip list --not-required
