NAME

       pip3-index - description of pip3 index command

DESCRIPTION

       Inspect information available from package indexes.

USAGE

          python -m pip index versions <package>

OPTIONS

       --platform <platform>
              Only  use  wheels  compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform of the running system. Use
              this option multiple times to specify multiple platforms supported by the target interpreter.

              (environment variable: PIP_PLATFORM)

       --python-version <python_version>
              The Python interpreter version to  use  for  wheel  and  "Requires-Python"  compatibility  checks.
              Defaults  to a version derived from the running interpreter. The version can be specified using up
              to three dot-separated integers (e.g. "3" for 3.0.0, "3.7" for 3.7.0, or "3.7.3").  A  major-minor
              version can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. "37" for 3.7.0).

              (environment variable: PIP_PYTHON_VERSION)

       --implementation <implementation>
              Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp',  or
              'ip'.  If  not  specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used.  Use 'py' to force
              implementation-agnostic wheels.

              (environment variable: PIP_IMPLEMENTATION)

       --abi <abi>
              Only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g.  'pypy_41'.  If  not  specified,  then  the
              current  interpreter  abi  tag  is  used.  Use this option multiple times to specify multiple abis
              supported by the  target  interpreter.  Generally  you  will  need  to  specify  --implementation,
              --platform, and --python-version when using this option.

              (environment variable: PIP_ABI)

       --ignore-requires-python
              Ignore the Requires-Python information.

              (environment variable: PIP_IGNORE_REQUIRES_PYTHON)

       --pre  Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

              (environment variable: PIP_PRE)

       --json Output data in a machine-readable JSON format.

              (environment variable: PIP_JSON)

       --no-binary <format_control>
              Do  not  use  binary  packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing
              value. Accepts either ":all:" to disable all binary packages, ":none:" to empty  the  set  (notice
              the  colons),  or  one  or more package names with commas between them (no colons). Note that some
              packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.

              (environment variable: PIP_NO_BINARY)

       --only-binary <format_control>
              Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time  adds  to  the  existing
              value. Accepts either ":all:" to disable all source packages, ":none:" to empty the set, or one or
              more  package  names  with commas between them. Packages without binary distributions will fail to
              install when this option is used on them.

              (environment variable: PIP_ONLY_BINARY)
