info

Show detailed information about a virtual environment — heavier sibling of scoop status. Reads metadata, walks the directory for size, and shells out to the venv’s own pip for a package list.

Usage

scoop info <name>

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
`name`	Yes	Name of the virtualenv

Options

Option	Description
`--all-packages`	Show the full installed-package list (default: top 5)
`--no-size`	Skip the directory-size walk
`--json`	Output as JSON

Human Output

Name:        myproject
Python:      3.12.1
Path:        ~/.scoop/virtualenvs/myproject
Active:      yes
Created:     2026-05-29 12:34:56
Last used:   3 hours ago
Size:        45 MB
Packages:    8
              requests==2.31.0
              ...

The Last used: row reads never for envs whose metadata exists but have never been activated (scoop activate / scoop run / scoop shell is what touches it), and is omitted entirely when there is no on-disk metadata at all.

JSON Output

scoop info myproject --json

last_used (RFC 3339) is omitted when the env has never been activated. size_bytes / size_display are omitted under --no-size.
