You haven't missed anything; there isn't any such place. There's a bunch of suggestions on how you could patch such a thing together StackOverflow: Is there a way to list pip dependencies/requirements?. Basically either running
pipor querying the PyPI API to discover transitive dependencies. Sounds like a fun little programming project! ๐Sounds like pain.
Thanks anyway.
Python deps can be dynamic, so it can be necessary to download the package and execute code just to find out.
Would be nice to see a resource that lists out the statically defined ones, though. Perhaps that'd pressure the dynamic ones to change -- it's a cause for some of the notorious pain of Python packaging.
