It parses pip's output and uses the packaging module to compare versions, then displays the results via terminaltables. The tool supports both the standard pip command and uv's pip interface, letting you pass an alternate pip executable via --cmd.\n\nTypical use is a quick terminal check: run pip-check to see at a glance which packages are outdated, optionally filtered to local or user-installed packages only. It can also show update instructions for each outdated package. The package is stable and actively maintained, supporting Python 3.8 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes. pip-check solves a real workflow problem\u2014pip list --outdated is functional but hard to read\u2014with minimal dependencies and no security vulnerabilities. Install friction is low, the license is permissive, and it works reliably across modern Python versions. The aging maintenance status (352 days since last release) is not a blocker for a stable, single-purpose utility with no active issues."},"id":"pip-check","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pip-check","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pip-check.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pip-check/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-08-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pip-check","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Display installed pip packages and their update status."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":423622,"position":6770,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.1"}
