pip show
is only for installed packages while pip search
does search pypi of uninstalled packages. However the results of pip search
are kind of weakmetulburr@ubuntu:~$ pip search beautifulsoup4 beautifulsoup4-slurp (0.0.2) - Slurp packages Beautifulsoup4 into command line. beautifulsoup4 (4.6.0) - Screen-scraping library INSTALLED: 4.6.0 (latest) parse-helper (0.1.16) - Helpers to fetch & parse text on pages with requests, lxml, & beautifulsoup4 soup_helpers (0.0.8) - A simple set of BeautifulSoup4 unit test helpersWhat if i want to get info such as licenses, uploads, etc. Essentially the majority of info from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4
It doesnt even give you a link to click to get to pypi for more info. You have to go to pypi and search it out separately. Which basically makes pip search mostly pointless.
Am i just missing something or is pip search lacking?
