Check the METADATA file in the *dist-info package files usually found in 
Lib\site-packages.

ie  \Python\3.11.0\Lib\site-packages\pandas-1.5.2.dist-info

Look for config lines beginning with 'Requires':

Requires-Python: >=3.8
Requires-Dist: python-dateutil (>=2.8.1)

$ pip list will show you which version of the package you have 
installed, so you can search for the matching .dist-info file
