[SOLVED] Listing every package which has a specified dependency

Is there a way to list all packages which have a specified package as a dependency in the terminal? The man page for pacman says that

pacman -Sii [package]

does this exact thing, but it does not. For example, if I run

pacman -Sii python

the returned list includes packages such as groovy, passenger, ruff, and valabind, which are related to Python, but do not have it as a dependency.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot and thought I was running a different command than I was. The man page is correct.
