pip-show-json
Show JSON metadata about an uninstalled pip package like apt-get show.
Motivation
It is useful to display information about a package which is not yet installed. This command line utility does this and documents how to do this so that it is easily discoverable
This is basically a wrapper around curl https://pypi.org/pypi/$PACKAGE/json which will show you metadata about a package but it is easy to discover and listed in pypi.
Usage and Installation
pipx install pip-show-json
pip-show-json django

A note on package security
PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
