SYNOPSIS
pip debug [options]
DESCRIPTION
pip debug prints debugging information about pip and the current Python environment. Output includes the pip version, location, sys.path, the active Python interpreter, the supported wheel compatibility tags, and the configured indexes.The command is intended for diagnosing wheel selection problems (e.g. "no matching distribution found"), index configuration issues, and SSL/cert misconfiguration. It is not a stable interface — output format may change between pip releases and should not be parsed by scripts.
