listcondalic 0.1.0

List license requirement of a project based on configuration file.

List license information from package specification file

Conda

For Conda environment:

1. Create an environment specification file. Please follow this guide to create this file.
2. Edit the file and remove all unnecessary dependencies (very important, otherwise the it is easy to get inundated with too much packages). For example, remove things like ipython, ipykernel, which are used for purpose other than the library itself.
3. Install this package.
4. Run:

listcondalic conda environment.yml > output.json

Here environment.yml should be the environment specification file. The package licence information will be saved at output.json.

Pip

Note: We use liccheck internally to produce the analysis.

1. Create your package specification file (e.g. requirements.txt) including all the packages required. pipreqs is a good helping tool for this as well.
2. Install this package
3. Run:

listcondalic pip requirements.txt > output.json

The package licence information will be saved at output.json.

Existing problems

This packages isn't quite clever yet:

• It tries to skip a few packages such as python', 'setuptools', 'wheel' and 'pip. Hopefully, we won't neglect any important packages.
• It only understand very basic package specifications in the conda environment file. Complicated package sources (e.g. -e ., git-based packages) will likely create bugs in the result.
