This is patched version! This version can send outdated messages for pip packages with '==' version specifiers.
This lightweight extension enables CodeLens + handy hover tooltips with PyPI package information in pip requirements files (requirements.txt, constraints.txt) – similar to what VS Code does by default in package.json. Gain access to package name, description, author(s), license, and latest version, at a glance, with links in case you need more details.
Depends on Microsoft's Python extension for VS Code for pip requirements language detection.
