# pip3-debug(1)

description of pip3 debug command

## NAME

pip3-debug - description of pip3 debug command

## DESCRIPTION

Display debug information.

## USAGE

```
python -m pip debug <options>
```

**WARNING:**

This command is only meant for debugging. Its options and outputs are provisional and may change without notice.

## 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**)
