pyversions

Get versions of imported modules in current session: pyversions.versions()

Designed particularly to work within a Jupyter notebook.
Call this function in a cell just after all modules/functions are imported.
This function uses Python inspect module to get the caller's global namespace; it should work, if not, pass globals() as a parameter.

Installation

pip install pyversions

Or

conda install -c duartexyz pyversions

Examples

>>> import pyversions
>>> vs = pyversions.versions()

>>> from pyversions import versions
>>> versions();  # semicolon to avoid printing information twice
