Hello,
Is there a way to get a list of installed python modules and their
versions ?
i.e. I would like to know if matplotlib is installed on my computer and
what version is it.
And so with other modules.
You've got two slightly different requirements there:
1) List all modules installed
and
2) Is *this* module installed?
The second is easy:
try:
import ModuleX
except ImportError:
print "ModuleX is not installed"
else:
print "ModuleX is installed"
print "with version", getattr (ModuleX, __VERSION__, "unknown")
There's no prescribed attribute for version, so you
might have to check a few like that if you didn't
know what to look for.
The first is harder, and in effect impossible in general.
Given a well-known and controlled setup, you could do
various things like interrogate the system's package
database or scan sys.path looking for modules & packages,
but it's all a bit hazy and wouldn't take into account,
say, a library module local to a particular application
which differs from a centrally-installed one for version
reasons.
