"pip show" command should display reverse dependencies / "pip graph" new command

[lepetitchevalblanc]

• Pip version: 9.0.1
• Python version: 2.7
• Operating system: All

Description:

This is a feature request, I think.
It would be nice to, at least, get a list of reverse dependencies with a "pip show <package_name>" command, with a depth of 1 for an installed package.
Maybe a better approach is to create a new command, e.g. "pip graph <package_name>" to show a complete tree of dependencies of an installed package.

What I've run:

As a workaround, I use this script from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21336323/show-reverse-dependencies-with-pip:

# rev_deps.py
import pip
import sys

def find_reverse_deps(package_name):
    return [
        pkg.project_name for pkg in pip.get_installed_distributions()
        if package_name in {req.project_name for req in pkg.requires()}
    ]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print find_reverse_deps(sys.argv[1])

Thanks for your work on pip :-)

I found this one to work:

pipdeptree --reverse --packages PACKAGENAME
