pip show which version is available

Show versions of an pip package you did not install. For example i want to install the latest 2.9 major release of ansible, seems to be 2.9.17.

Normally „pip3 install package==version“ installed the version you define. With an not existing version like „randomword“ you get:

pip3 install ansible==randomword
