pip: Show installed package info.

$ pip show ${package_name}

try on your machine

The command "pip show ${package_name}" is used to retrieve information about a specific Python package installed on your system using the pip package manager.

Here's how the command works:

"pip" is the command-line tool for managing Python packages and dependencies. It allows you to install, upgrade, and manage Python software packages easily.
"show" is a pip command that retrieves detailed information about the specified package.
"${package_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the package you want to retrieve information about. You need to replace "${package_name}" with the name of the actual package you are interested in.

When executing the command, it will provide you with information about the specified package, such as the package name, version number, location, description, installed files, dependencies, and various other details.
