To check the available versions of a package in Python and pip, you can use the following commands:

Using pip:

  1. Open the command prompt/terminal.
  2. Type the command pip search package_name and press Enter.

This will display a list of available versions of the package that match the search query.

Using Python:

You can use Python’s built-in package manager pkg_resources to check the available versions of a package. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the command prompt/terminal.
  2. Type the command python and press Enter. This will open the Python interpreter.
  3. Type import pkg_resources and press Enter.
  4. Type pkg_resources.get_distribution('package_name').version and press Enter.

This will display the currently installed version of the package. To check all available versions of the package, you can use the following command:

pkg_resources.get_distribution('package_name').requires()

This will display a list of all available versions of the package that are compatible with your currently installed version of Python.
