There is no simple, native way to get the dependency tree of a Python virtual environment using the Pip package manager for Python. Pip Tree fixes this problem by retrieving every package from your virtual environment and returning a list of JSON objects that include the package name, version installed, date updated, and which packages are required by each package (the tree).
# Homebrew install brew tap justintime50/formulas brew install pip-tree # Install Pip Tree globally pip3 install pip-tree # Install Pip Tree into the virtual environment of the project you want to run it on venv/bin/pip install pip-tree # Install locally just install
Virtual Env Usage:
pip-tree
Global Usage:
pip-tree --path "path/to/my_project/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages"
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH, --path PATH The path to the site-packages directory of a Python virtual environment. If a path is not provided, the virtual environment Pip Tree is run from will be used.
--version show program's version number and exit

Pip Tree report complete! 40 dependencies found for "path/to/my_project/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages".
In addition to the CLI tool, you can use functions to retrieve the list of packages and their details from a Python virtual environment in your own code:
import pip_tree path = 'path/to/my_project/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages' package_list = pip_tree.get_pip_package_list(path) for package in package_list: package_details = pip_tree.get_package_details(package) print(package_details['name'])
