Doctor

Three checks against the active environment.

The Doctor page

CheckWhat it verifies
InterpreterPython runs, and which version
pippython -m pip works here, and which version it is
PyPIhttps://pypi.org is reachable (catches firewall and proxy problems)
BadgeMeaning
passedIn order
warnWorth noting; pip still works
failBroken; pip operations will likely fail

A warn or fail adds a hint: what went wrong and what fixes it.

Doctor is read-only. When it suggests a command, run it in a terminal and check again.

Use it on first run, after switching environments, or when an install fails and you need to know whether the network is at fault.
