Summary

Yolk is a Python tool for obtaining information about installed Python packages and querying packages available on PyPI (Python Package Index). yolk3k is a fork of the original yolk. yolk3k add Python 3 support (while maintaining Python 2 support). It also adds additional features.

$ yolk -a

$ yolk -n
    List only the non-activated (--multi-version) packages installed

$ yolk -l -f License,Author nose==1.0
