Answer by Daniel F for How do I get a list of locally installed Python modules?

Warning: Adam Matan discourages this use in pip > 10.0. Also, read @sinoroc's comment below

This was inspired by Adam Matan's answer (the accepted one):

import tabulatetry:  from pip import get_installed_distributionsexcept:  from pip._internal.utils.misc import get_installed_distributionstabpackages = []for _, package in sorted([('%s %s' % (i.location, i.key), i) for i in get_installed_distributions()]):  tabpackages.append([package.location, package.key, package.version])print(tabulate.tabulate(tabpackages))

which then prints out a table in the form of

cd ~/pythonpython installed_packages.py

Output:

-------------------------------------------  --------------  ------/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  enum-compat     0.0.2/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  enum34          1.1.6/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  pexpect         4.2.1/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  ptyprocess      0.5.2/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  pygatt          3.2.0/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages  pyserial        3.4/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       bluepy          1.1.1/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       click           6.7/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       click-datetime  0.2/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       construct       2.8.21/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       pyaudio         0.2.11/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages       tabulate        0.8.2-------------------------------------------  --------------  ------

which lets you then easily discern which packages you installed with and without sudo.

A note aside: I've noticed that when I install a packet once via sudo and once without, one takes precedence so that the other one isn't being listed (only one location is shown). I believe that only the one in the local directory is then listed. This could be improved.
