pkg = pypi.get_package('licenselib')
print(pkg) # all pkg data

print(dependencies) # pkg dependencies as list including version

# for locally installed packages you may use:
license: License = get_local_licenses(['requests'])[0]
print(license) # license metadata
print(license.licensetext) # full licensetext

print(dependencies) # repo dependencies
print(dependency.name for dependency in repo.dependencies) # repo dependencies names as list
