I want to see the list of dependencies(packages) a given package depends on before installing the package.
For example, pandas depend on numpy. Is there a pip command that takes pandas as input and shows me the dependencies that will be installed alongside pandas? It would be best if the dependency tree is recursive - meaning dependencies also show their dependencies.
Thank you!
Can use
Johnnydep
Example Pandas.

Thanks. It was mentioned in the original SO answer, but Johneydep has its dependencies. I was looking for a pip command because I wanted to add packages carefully to my environment.

The way to solve this that is to use virtual environment.
Example i would not at install eg some these AI libraries eg in this
post whisper without using virtual environment.
Don't need it anymore if just delete
whisper_env folder,then all is gone.
I did help someone at one time the libraries did install 100 packages.
I have of course a lot install to the root Python,but to test larger libraries to avoid conflicts should use virtual environment.
Also if i make a package/libraries myself the this is done in a virtual environment.
There are ok 3-party like
Poetry it work fine,my only complain that it need a lot dependencies itself.
Here a packages in
Whisper,dos not matter what i have installed before this is now isolated.
(whisper_env) G:\div_code\whisper_env
λ pip list
