Re: [Python-ideas] "import me" to display some summary of the current python installation
Steven, I had intended to answer the question. If I did not answer this question, I must have misunderstood the question. > Never mind. site._script() as pointed out by Wes Turner is what I need: These commands could also be helpful for the inferred use case: $(which pip) --version $(which python) -m pip freeze python -m pip freeze --user python -m pip freeze --l python -m pip freeze -r ./requirements.txt conda --version conda config --show conda env export # .yaml dotfiles_status() # westurner/dotfiles/develop/etc/bash/ 05-bashrc.dotfiles.sh echo $VIRTUAL_ENV echo $CONDA_ENVS_PATH $WORKON_HOME In terms of printing the actual versions of {Python, pkgs, } for reproducibility, for Jupyter Notebook, there's: a %version_information magic command extension: https://github.com/jrjohansson/version_information/blob/master/version_information/version_information.py and also %watermark: https://github.com/rasbt/watermark/blob/master/watermark/watermark.py A way to print all this environment information from the CLI (as e.g. JSON and/or YAML) would indeed be useful (e.g. for CI build logs / as a build artifact).

Re: [Python-ideas] "import me" to display some summary of the current python installation
I actually did have `me` defined, but changed it to `my` recently. I use it in my shell to store my personal details, like my mobile number, API keys etc. It's handy being able to do `my.mobile` when I need that info quickly. Either way, the default banner should, and generally does, point new users to the help they need. -- Carl Smith carl.in...@gmail.com On 12 April 2017 at 04:18, Steven D'Aprano wrote: > On Wed, Apr 12, 2017 at 09:56:40AM +0800, Kamal Mustafa wrote: > > > On the same theme with "import this" and "import antigravity", "import > > me" I think can be both some fun way to introduce Python and also > > offer a helpful functionality when troubleshooting python installation > > with someone new to the language. > > If your Python installation isn't working, how are you supposed to run > "import me"? > > You're a bit vague about what this "import me" is actually going to do. > Can you show a mock-up of the output you expect? > > Both import this and antigravity are Easter eggs.
