Dump the software license list of Python packages installed with pip.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Common options:
--python PYTHON_EXEC path to python executable to search distributions from
Package will be searched in the selected python's sys.path
By default, will search packages for current env executable
(default: sys.executable)
--from SOURCE where to find license information
"meta", "classifier, "mixed", "all"
(default: mixed)
-o COL, --order COL order by column
"name", "license", "author", "url"
(default: name)
-f STYLE, --format STYLE dump as set format style
"plain", "plain-vertical" "markdown", "rst",
"confluence", "html", "json",
"json-license-finder", "csv"
(default: plain)
--summary dump summary of each license
--output-file OUTPUT_FILE save license list to file
-i PKG [PKG ...], --ignore-packages PKG [PKG ...]
ignore package name in dumped list
-p PKG [PKG ...], --packages PKG [PKG ...]
only include selected packages in output
Format options:
-s, --with-system dump with system packages
-a, --with-authors dump with package authors
--with-maintainers dump with package maintainers
-u, --with-urls dump with package urls
-d, --with-description dump with short package description
-nv, --no-version dump without package version
-l, --with-license-file dump with location of license file and contents, most useful with
JSON output
--no-license-path when specified together with option -l, suppress location of license
file output
--with-notice-file when specified together with option -l, dump with location of
license file and contents
--filter-strings filter input according to code page
--filter-code-page CODE specify code page for filtering (default: latin1)
Verify options:
--fail-on FAIL_ON fail (exit with code 1) on the first occurrence of the licenses of
the semicolon-separated list
--allow-only ALLOW_ONLY fail (exit with code 1) on the first occurrence of the licenses not
in the semicolon-separated list
--partial-match enables partial matching for --allow-only/--fail-on
