How do I search for an available Python package using pip?

Question

I would like to be able to search for an available Python package using pip (on the terminal). I would like a functionality similar to apt-cache in Ubu

Answer 1

1. To search use pip search QUERY

   Use pip help and pip help COMMAND to learn about all available commands and their options.

2. You can find a complete list of packages here:

   https://pypi.org/

   An index with simpler markup for easier automatic consumption can be found here:
