How to get dependants of a python package?

Question

How would I most easily get all direct dependants for a package ?

For example let's take the flask package. It depends on Jinja2 and some other packages. What other packages use the Jinja2 package ?

Essentially a pip equivalent of apt-cache rdepends <package>

Having the option to see indirect dependants would be nice too.

Pipenv has `pipenv graph` which shows the top-level dependencies. — ChrisOram, Nov 12 '21 at 17:09
[_deptree_](https://pypi.org/project/deptree/) `deptree --reverse ` -- or [_pipdeptree_](https://pypi.org/project/pipdeptree/) `pipdeptree --reverse --packages ` — sinoroc, Nov 28 '21 at 09:58

Take a look at johnnydep (https://pypi.org/project/johnnydep/), it will give you a dependency tree with versions for a given package.
