If virtual environment for current project and environment exists this command will get package version for this virtual environment. Otherwise, this command will get package versions from all paths from `sys.path` for current Python. This is the reason why `version.installed` is a list.

## Conda (Anaconda Cloud and conda-forge recipes)

By default, this command uses information from [PyPI](http://pypi.org). However, you can explicitly specify `--repo` to search package among conda recipes.

Search recipes in the [conda-froge](https://github.com/conda-forge/) Github repository:

```bash
$ dephell package show --repo=conda_git make
{
  "authors": [],
  "description": "GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.",
  "latest": "4.2.1",
  "license": "GPLv3",
  "links": {
    "documentation": "https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/",
    "homepage": "https://www.gnu.org/software/make/"
  },
  "name": "make",
  "updated": "2019-01-12"
}
```

Search builded packages in [Anaconda Cloud](https://anaconda.org/):

```bash
$ dephell package show --repo=conda_cloud make
{
  "authors": [],
  "description": "GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.",
  "latest": "4.2.1",
  "license": "GPLv3",
  "links": {
    "anaconda": "https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/make",
    "documentation": "https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/",
    "homepage": "https://www.gnu.org/software/make/",
    "source": "https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.2.1.tar.bz2"
  },
  "name": "make",
  "updated": "1970-01-01"
}
```

```bash
$ dephell package show --repo=conda_cloud textdistance
{
  "authors": [],
  "description": "TextDistance – python library for comparing distance between two or more sequences by many algorithms.",
  "latest": "4.1.0",
  "license": "LGPL-3.0",
  "links": {
    "anaconda": "https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/textdistance",
    "documentation": "https://pypi.org/project/textdistance/#description",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/orsinium/textdistance",
    "repository": "https://github.com/orsinium/textdistance",
    "source": "https://pypi.io/packages/source/t/textdistance/textdistance-4.1.0.tar.gz"
  },
