How to List all the Installed Python Modules in Linux{2 Easy Methods}

In this article, I will explain the different methods that can be used to list all the Installed Python modules in Linux. If you are a Python Programmer or Developer then you probably know about the importance of Python modules in your Program. Every python program requires to import few of the important modules to implement its predefined functionality in the program.

Hence it is very important to install all the required python modules first before even importing it in your programs. Many times we are not aware of how to check all the installed python modules so that we will know which modules to install and which are not. I am going to show you exactly how you can check this by using 2 very easy methods.

There are basically two different methods through which you can check all the installed python modules in your Server. We are going to look into both the methods in detail with the help of examples.

Method 1: Using pip3.6 Tool

In this method you would need pip3.6 tool to be installed in your Server. PIP is known as Python Package Installer. It is used for installing python packages and modules. You can check more about PIP on Official Documentation. If it is not installed then you can use yum install python3-pip -y command to install in your RHEL/CentOS Based Servers and sudo apt-get install python3-pip command to install on Debian/Ubuntu Based Servers. You can find more information about pip3.6 installation on How to Install PIP3 Utility on Linux(RHEL/CentOS 7/8) article.

[root@localhost ~]# pip3.6 freeze
certifi==2020.6.20
chardet==3.0.4
idna==2.10
Mako==1.1.3
MarkupSafe==1.1.1
prettytable==1.0.1
requests==2.24.0
urllib3==1.25.11
wcwidth==0.2.5

Method 2: Using python3.6 Tool

Another method that you can use is through python3.6 utility. You can go to the python prompt by running python3.6 command as you can see below. Then you can run help("modules") to list all the installed python modules. If you do not have python3 installed then you can use yum install python3 -y command to install on RHEL/CentOS Based Servers and sudo apt-get install python3.6 command to install on Debian/Ubuntu Based Servers. Also you can check How to Install Python3 on CentOS 7 article to know more about the installation steps.

[root@localhost ~]# python3.6
Python 3.6.8 (default, Apr 2 2020, 13:34:55)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help("modules")

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
