Have 'pdm show' command default to installed packages

[justasojourner]

This relates to my other discussion topic #618 because my project 'DRP' was made a package.

When I ran the pdm show command on the (newly created) package...

drp % pdm show drp
Name:                  Drp
Latest version:        0.1.2
Latest stable version: 0.1.2
Installed version:     0.0.0 <----- AND SHOWS THIS
Summary:               Drp is a Dropbox command line utility to ease upload, download and sharing of files

I saw that it was referring to a package on PyPi that had the same name as my local package (project). Which made me think that it would be best for the command to, by default, refer to local and installed PyPi packages.

Also note the command pdm show drp showed the installed version as being my (unwanted) package in conflict with the PyPi version. This could cause serious issues - what would happen if I did a pdm update?

There perhaps needs to be a default local 'namespace', and operations are done in that scope unless explicitly instructed otherwise?

Hi - just checking, any thoughts on the suggestion?

Type in pdm show without package name
