whych 0.2.1

A module to find modules

A tool to locate the Python modules that your interpreter has access to.

whych is only run as a “command-line module” with the -m flag to the Python interpreter, from the REPL or from a notebook. whych is not as a standalone executable, so that the Python interpreter that is used is obvious.

Examples

>From the command-line:

$ python3 -m whych collections
Python executable: /usr/bin/python3
Module "collections" found at location: /usr/lib/python3.5/collections


$ python -m whych numpy --module-version
Python executable: /usr/bin/python
Module "numpy" found at location: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy
numpy version: 1.12.0b1

>From an interpreter:

>>> import whych
>>> whych.whych('pip')
Python executable: /usr/bin/python3
Module "pip" found at location: /home/pierre/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip

Installation

pip install whych
