List Installed Python Packages

bfirest1 · March 31, 2018

Hello Helioids!

Just found this service and started poking around. I'm glad HelioHost exists!

Determining without command line access which python packages are available was a bit tricky. I'm documenting a solution here so it will show up for others in search.

The following script is tested as working on server Johnny, under Python 3.6. Upload it to, for example, /home/USERNAME/public_html/cgi-bin/SCRIPTNAME.py. Don't forget to make it executable (chmod 755 SCRIPTNAME.py). Sending a request to that file from your browser, for example by visiting YOURSUBDOMAIN.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/SCRIPTNAME.py, will return installed module details wrapped in html that should be good enough for your browser to parse. Hope someone else finds this helpful!

#!/usr/bin/python3.6

import sys
import pip

version = sys.version
modules = pip.get_installed_distributions()

print("Content-type: text/html\n\n", "Python ", version, "<br><br>")

for mod in sorted(modules, key=lambda mod: mod.key):
    try:
        deets = next(pip.commands.show.search_packages_info([mod.key]))
        print(deets["name"], "<br>")
        print(deets["version"], "<br>")
        print(deets["summary"], "<br>")
        print(deets["author"], "<br>")
        print(deets["author-email"], "<br>")
        print(deets["home-page"], "<br><br>")
    except:
        print("<p>", mod.key, "</p>")

One of Heliohost's Admin's Krydos already has a script to view the list of installed modules. The link to view installed modules for python version 3.6 is https://krydos2.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/modules37.py

Similarly this link https://krydos2.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/modules27.py can be used to view the installed modules for python verision 2.7
