Description
-----------

``pip-licenses`` is a CLI tool for checking the software license of
installed Python packages with pip.

Implemented with the idea inspired by ``composer licenses`` command in
Composer (a.k.a PHP package management tool).

https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#licenses

Installation
------------

Install it via PyPI using ``pip`` command.

.. code:: bash

   # Install or Upgrade to newest available version
   $ pip install -U pip-licenses

**Note:** If you are still using Python 2.7, install version less than
2.0. No new features will be provided for version 1.x.

.. code:: bash

   $ pip install 'pip-licenses<2.0'

Usage
-----

Execute the command with your venv (or virtualenv) environment.

.. code:: bash

   # Install packages in your venv environment
   (venv) $ pip install Django pip-licenses

   # Check the licenses with your venv environment
   (venv) $ pip-licenses
    Name    Version  License
    Django  2.0.2    BSD
    pytz    2017.3   MIT

Command-Line Options
--------------------

Common options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Option: from
^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, this tool finds the license from `Trove
Classifiers <https://pypi.org/classifiers/>`__ or package Metadata. Some
Python packages declare their license only in Trove Classifiers.

(See also): `Set license to MIT in setup.py by alisianoi ・ Pull Request
#1058 ・
pypa/setuptools <https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/1058>`__, `PEP
314#License <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0314/#license>`__

For example, even if you check with the ``pip show`` command, the
license is displayed as ``UNKNOWN``.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip show setuptools
   Name: setuptools
   Version: 38.5.0
   Summary: Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages
   Home-page: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
   Author: Python Packaging Authority
   Author-email: distutils-sig@python.org
   License: UNKNOWN

The mixed mode (``--from=mixed``) of this tool works well and looks for
licenses.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --from=mixed --with-system | grep setuptools
    setuptools    38.5.0   MIT License

In mixed mode, it first tries to look for licenses in the Trove
Classifiers. When not found in the Trove Classifiers, the license
declared in Metadata is displayed.

If you want to look only in metadata, use ``--from=meta``. If you want
to look only in Trove Classifiers, use ``--from=classifier``.

To list license information from both metadata and classifier, use
``--from=all``.

**Note:** If neither can find license information, please check with the
``with-authors`` and ``with-urls`` options and contact the software
author.

-  The ``m`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``meta``.
-  The ``c`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``classifier``.
-  The ``mix`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``mixed``.

   -  Default behavior in this tool

Option: order
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, it is ordered by package name.

If you give arguments to the ``--order`` option, you can output in other
sorted order.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --order=license

Option: format
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, it is output to the ``plain`` format.

Markdown
''''''''

When executed with the ``--format=markdown`` option, you can output list
in markdown format. The ``m`` ``md`` keyword is prepared as alias of
``markdown``.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=markdown
   | Name   | Version | License |
   |--------|---------|---------|
   | Django | 2.0.2   | BSD     |
   | pytz   | 2017.3  | MIT     |

When inserted in a markdown document, it is rendered as follows:

====== ======= =======
Name   Version License
====== ======= =======
Django 2.0.2   BSD
pytz   2017.3  MIT
====== ======= =======

reST
''''

When executed with the ``--format=rst`` option, you can output list in
"`Grid
tables <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#grid-tables>`__"
of reStructuredText format. The ``r`` ``rest`` keyword is prepared as
alias of ``rst``.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=rst
   +--------+---------+---------+
   | Name   | Version | License |
   +--------+---------+---------+
   | Django | 2.0.2   | BSD     |
   +--------+---------+---------+
   | pytz   | 2017.3  | MIT     |
   +--------+---------+---------+

Confluence
''''''''''

When executed with the ``--format=confluence`` option, you can output
list in `Confluence (or JIRA) Wiki
markup <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html#ConfluenceWikiMarkup-Tables>`__
format. The ``c`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``confluence``.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=confluence
   | Name   | Version | License |
   | Django | 2.0.2   | BSD     |
   | pytz   | 2017.3  | MIT     |

HTML
''''

When executed with the ``--format=html`` option, you can output list in
HTML table format. The ``h`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``html``.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=html
   <table>
       <tr>
           <th>Name</th>
           <th>Version</th>
           <th>License</th>
       </tr>
       <tr>
           <td>Django</td>
           <td>2.0.2</td>
           <td>BSD</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
           <td>pytz</td>
           <td>2017.3</td>
           <td>MIT</td>
       </tr>
   </table>

JSON
''''

When executed with the ``--format=json`` option, you can output list in
JSON format easily allowing post-processing. The ``j`` keyword is
prepared as alias of ``json``.

.. code:: json

   [
     {
       "Author": "Django Software Foundation",
       "License": "BSD",
       "Name": "Django",
       "URL": "https://www.djangoproject.com/",
       "Version": "2.0.2"
     },
     {
       "Author": "Stuart Bishop",
       "License": "MIT",
       "Name": "pytz",
       "URL": "http://pythonhosted.org/pytz",
       "Version": "2017.3"
     }
   ]

JSON LicenseFinder
''''''''''''''''''

When executed with the ``--format=json-license-finder`` option, you can
output list in JSON format that is identical to
`LicenseFinder <https://github.com/pivotal/LicenseFinder>`__. The
``jlf`` keyword is prepared as alias of ``jlf``. This makes pip-licenses
a drop-in replacement for LicenseFinder.

.. code:: json

   [
     {
       "licenses": ["BSD"],
       "name": "Django",
       "version": "2.0.2"
     },
     {
       "licenses": ["MIT"],
       "name": "pytz",
       "version": "2017.3"
     }
   ]

CSV
'''

When executed with the ``--format=csv`` option, you can output list in
quoted CSV format. Useful when you want to copy/paste the output to an
Excel sheet.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=csv
   "Name","Version","License"
   "Django","2.0.2","BSD"
   "pytz","2017.3","MIT"

Plain Vertical
''''''''''''''

When executed with the ``--format=plain-vertical`` option, you can
output a simple plain vertical output that is similar to Angular CLI's
`--extractLicenses flag <https://angular.io/cli/build#options>`__. This
format minimizes rightward drift.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=plain-vertical --with-license-file --no-license-path
   pytest
   5.3.4

   LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,
   OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE
   SOFTWARE.

Option: summary
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--summary`` option, you can output a summary of
each license.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --summary --from=classifier --with-system
    Count  License
    2      BSD License
    4      MIT License

**Note:** When using this option, only ``--order=count`` or
``--order=license`` has an effect for the ``--order`` option. And using
``--with-authors`` and ``--with-urls`` will be ignored.

Option: output-file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--output-file`` option, write the result to the
path specified by the argument.

::

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --format=rst --output-file=/tmp/output.rst
   created path: /tmp/output.rst

Option: ignore-packages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--ignore-packages`` option, ignore the package
specified by argument from list output.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --ignore-packages django
    Name  Version  License
    pytz  2017.3   MIT

Package names of arguments can be separated by spaces.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-system --ignore-packages django pip pip-licenses
    Name        Version  License
    PTable      0.9.2    BSD (3 clause)
    pytz        2017.3   MIT
    setuptools  38.5.0   UNKNOWN

Option: packages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``packages`` option, look at the package
specified by argument from list output.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --packages django
    Name   Version  License
    Django 2.0.2    BSD

Package names of arguments can be separated by spaces.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-system --packages PTable pytz
    Name        Version  License
    PTable      0.9.2    BSD (3 clause)
    pytz        2017.3   MIT

Format options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Option: with-system
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, system packages such as ``pip`` and ``setuptools`` are
ignored.

And ``pip-licenses`` and the implicit dependency ``PTable`` will also be
ignored.

If you want to output all including system package, use the
``--with-system`` option.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-system
    Name          Version  License
    Django        2.0.2    BSD
    PTable        0.9.2    BSD (3 clause)
    pip           9.0.1    MIT
    pip-licenses  1.0.0    MIT License
    pytz          2017.3   MIT
    setuptools    38.5.0   UNKNOWN

Option: with-authors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--with-authors`` option, output with author of
the package.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-authors
    Name    Version  License  Author
    Django  2.0.2    BSD      Django Software Foundation
    pytz    2017.3   MIT      Stuart Bishop

Option: with-urls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For packages without Metadata, the license is output as ``UNKNOWN``. To
get more package information, use the ``--with-urls`` option.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-urls
    Name    Version  License  URL
    Django  2.0.2    BSD      https://www.djangoproject.com/
    pytz    2017.3   MIT      http://pythonhosted.org/pytz

Option: with-description
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--with-description`` option, output with short
description of the package.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --with-description
    Name    Version  License  Description
    Django  2.0.2    BSD      A high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
    pytz    2017.3   MIT      World timezone definitions, modern and historical

Option: with-license-file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When executed with the ``--with-license-file`` option, output the
location of the package's license file on disk and the full contents of
that file. Due to the length of these fields, this option is best paired
with ``--format=json``.

If you also want to output the file ``NOTICE`` distributed under Apache
License etc., specify the ``--with-notice-file`` option additionally.

**Note:** If you want to keep the license file path secret, specify
``--no-license-path`` option together.

Option: filter-strings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some package data contains Unicode characters which might cause problems
for certain output formats (in particular ReST tables). If this filter
is enabled, all characters which cannot be encoded with a given code
page (see ``--filter-code-page``) will be removed from any input strings
(e.g. package name, description).

Option: filter-code-page
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If the input strings are filtered (see ``--filter-strings``), you can
specify the applied code page (default ``latin-1``). A list of all
available code pages can be found `codecs module
document <https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings>`__.

Verify options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Option: fail-on
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fail (exit with code 1) on the first occurrence of the licenses of the
semicolon-separated list

If ``--from=all``, the option will apply to the metadata license field.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --fail-on="MIT License;BSD License"

**Note:** Packages with multiple licenses will fail if at least one
license is included in the fail-on list. For example:

::

   # keyring library has 2 licenses
   $ pip-licenses | grep keyring
    keyring             21.4.0     Python Software Foundation License, MIT License

   # If just "Python Software Foundation License" is specified, it will fail.
   $ pip-licenses --fail-on="Python Software Foundation License;"
   $ echo $?
   1

Option: allow-only
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fail (exit with code 1) if none of the package licenses are in the
semicolon-separated list

If ``--from=all``, the option will apply to the metadata license field.

.. code:: bash

   (venv) $ pip-licenses --allow-only="MIT License;BSD License"

**Note:** Packages with multiple licenses will only be allowed if at
least one license is included in the allow-only list. For example:

::

   # keyring library has 2 licenses
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring
    Name     Version  License                                         
    keyring  23.0.1   MIT License; Python Software Foundation License

   # One or both licenses must be specified (order does not matter). Following checks will pass:
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring --allow-only="MIT License"
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring --allow-only="BSD License;MIT License"
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring --allow-only="Python Software Foundation License"
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring --allow-only="Python Software Foundation License;MIT License"

   # If none of the license in the allow list match, the check will fail.
   $ pip-licenses --package keyring  --allow-only="BSD License"
   $ echo $?
   1

Other, please make sure to execute the ``--help`` option.

Dockerfile
----------

You can check the package license used by your app in the isolated
Docker environment.

.. code:: bash

   # Clone this repository to local
   $ git clone https://github.com/raimon49/pip-licenses.git
   $ cd pip-licenses

   # Create your app's requirements.txt file
   # Other ways, pip freeze > docker/requirements.txt
   $ echo "Flask" > docker/requirements.txt

   # Build docker image
   $ docker build . -t myapp-licenses

   # Check the package license in container
   $ docker run --rm myapp-licenses
    Name          Version  License
    Click         7.0      BSD License
    Flask         1.0.2    BSD License
    Jinja2        2.10     BSD License
    MarkupSafe    1.1.1    BSD License
    Werkzeug      0.15.2   BSD License
    itsdangerous  1.1.0    BSD License

   # Check with options
   $ docker run --rm myapp-licenses --summary
    Count  License
    4      BSD
    2      BSD-3-Clause

   # When you need help
   $ docker run --rm myapp-licenses --help

**Note:** This Docker image can not check package licenses with C and C
++ Extensions. It only works with pure Python package dependencies.

If you want to resolve build environment issues, try adding
``build-base`` packages and more.

About UnicodeEncodeError
------------------------

If a ``UnicodeEncodeError`` occurs, check your environment variables
``LANG`` and ``LC_TYPE``.

Often occurs in isolated environments such as Docker and tox.
