Where Are Pip Installation Logs?

Where Are Pip Installation Logs?

Why doesn't pip make logs of which version of which lib was installed when? If you update a library to a broken version then what? How do you know which version is not broken?


Those who upvote this - can you tell me why are you doing it?

When you run the pip, you can specify the logfile. This way you can track the installation logs in future.

pip install pylint --log LOG_FILE

Or you can set it in your pip.conf to be enabled by default:

[global]
log = <path>

Hope this helps.However this is not exactly what you asked. This is just to help achieve that. For windows: Quoting from

On Windows the configuration file is %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini.
