Find which version of package is installed with pip
pip, python
Solution
As of pip 1.3, there is a `pip show` command.
$ pip show Jinja2
---
Name: Jinja2
Version: 2.7.3
Location: /path/to/virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: markupsafe
In older versions, `pip freeze` and `grep` should do the job nicely.
$ pip freeze | grep Jinja2
Jinja2==2.7.3
Problem
Using pip, is it possible to figure out which version of a package is currently installed? I know about `pip install XYZ --upgrade` but I am wondering if there is anything like `pip info XYZ`. If not what would be the best way to tell what version I am currently using.
