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 Under the hood it calls pip list --outdated --format=columns and transforms it into a more user friendly table.

Installation:

pip install pip-check

The last version that runs on Python 2.7 or 3.4 is v2.5.2. Install it with:

pip install pip-check==2.5.2

Usage:

$ pip-check -h
usage: pip-check [-h] [-a] [-c PIP_CMD] [-l] [-r] [-f] [-H] [-u] [-U]

A quick overview of all installed packages and their update status.

  -a, --ascii           Display as ASCII Table
  -c PIP_CMD, --cmd PIP_CMD
                        The pip executable to run. Default: `pip`
  -l, --local           Show only virtualenv installed packages.
  -r, --not-required    List only packages that are not dependencies of
                        installed packages.
  -f, --full-version    Show full version strings.
  -H, --hide-unchanged  Do not show "unchanged" packages.
