sinfo prints version information for loaded modules in the current session, Python, and the OS.
Project description
sinfo
sinfo
prints version information for loaded modules in the current session,
Python, and the OS. It is designed as a minimum measure to increase
reproducibility and provides similar information as sessionInfo
in R. The
name is shortened to encourage regular usage through reduced typing =)
Installation
sinfo
can be installed via pip
: pip install sinfo
. It does not rely on
a package manager to find version numbers since it fetches them from the
module's version string. Its only dependency is stdlib_list
, which is used to
distinguish between standard library and third party modules.
Usage
sinfo
is versatile and particularly useful when conducting exploratory data
analysis in Jupyter Notebooks. Listing the version numbers of all loaded
modules in the last cell of a Notebook is a simple way to ensure a minimum
level of reproducibility that requires little additional effort. This practice
is useful when revisiting code and when sharing code with colleagues. sinfo
is meant to complement more robust practices such as frozen virtual
environments, containers and binder Notebooks. The default behavior is to only
print modules from outside the standard library.
import math
import numpy
import pandas
import natsort
# Exploratory data analysis goes here...
# The last code cell of a Notebook.
import sinfo
sinfo.sinfo()
Output:
natsort 5.3.3
numpy 1.15.2
pandas 0.23.4

is omitted since it is in the standard library, but can be included by
specifying print_std_lib=True
. See the docstring for full parameter info.
Background
sinfo
started as minor modifications of py_session
, and as it grew it
became convenient to create a new package. sinfo
was built with the help of
information provided in stackoverflow answers and existing similar packages,
