peta
Human-friendly Python package metadata viewer. Think cargo info for Python.
peta shows detailed metadata for a Python package — from your local environment
or from PyPI — with clean, Rich-formatted terminal output.
Features
- Local + remote — inspect installed packages or any package on PyPI
- Rich output — readable tables, panels, and trees
- Dependency listing — see a package's declared dependencies
- File listing — list files installed by a local package
- Version listing — browse published versions from PyPI
- Release artifacts — wheels, sdists, digests, compatibility, and provenance
- Structured output — Rich, plain text, versioned JSON, or Markdown
Installation
peta is an end-user CLI tool; install it into an isolated environment:
# Run without installing
uvx peta requests
# Install as a tool
uv tool install peta
pipx install peta
On macOS/Linux via Homebrew:
brew install hasansezertasan/tap/peta
On Windows via Scoop:
scoop bucket add hasansezertasan https://github.com/hasansezertasan/scoop-bucket
scoop install peta
Requires: Python 3.14+
Usage

peta info requests # explicit info
peta info requests==2.31.0 # a specific version from PyPI

peta files rich # files installed locally
peta versions httpx # published versions on PyPI
peta artifacts cryptography # what the latest release ships
peta artifacts numpy==2.3.0 --files --python 3.12
peta compare requests httpx # side-by-side metadata comparison
peta requests --format json # versioned machine-readable output
peta requests --json # compatibility alias for --format json
