How can I get a list of locally installed Python modules?

Question

I would like to get a list of Python modules, which are in my Python installation (UNIX server).

How can you get a list of Python modules installed in your computer?

Answer 1

Try these

pip list

or

pip freeze

Answer 2

Since pip version 1.3, you've got access to:

pip list

Which seems to be syntactic sugar for "pip freeze". It will list all of the modules particular to your installation or virtualenv, along with their version numbers. Unfortunately it does not display the current version number of any module, nor does it wash your dishes or shine your shoes.

Answer 3

Very simple searching using pkgutil.iter_modules

from pkgutil import iter_modules
a=iter_modules()
while True:
    try: x=a.next()
    except: break
    if 'searchstr' in x[1]: print x[1]

Answer 4

on windows, Enter this in cmd

c:\python\libs>python -m pip freeze

Answer 5

help('modules')

in a Python shell/prompt.

Answer 6

Here is a python code solution that will return a list of modules installed. One can easily modify the code to include version numbers.

import subprocess
import sys
from pprint import pprint

installed_packages = reqs = subprocess.check_output([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'freeze']).decode('utf-8')
installed_packages = installed_packages.split('\r\n')
installed_packages = [pkg.split('==')[0] for pkg in installed_packages if pkg != '']
pprint(installed_packages)
