pip list shows "name meta info of the package" which is of no use
i just learned decorators and i'm in a verge of asking why no decorators for objects thanks for helping me understand the concept of decorators. it was very helpful. suppose let us say we installed pyjnius using pip. when i'm trying to import pyjnius it shows
import pyjnius `ImportError:` No module named pyjnius
pip list does shows that pyjnius but there is no info about how it should be imported. i think we should be adding that functionality so that we dont have to google around to know in which way should be imported. pip freeze shows the version not. pip show : shows the meta info of every thing except the pymodule's thing let us say if pip list shows info like pip list <name> (<version>) <importname(module/package> then it should be very helpful for coders i also think of pip moduletree which will shows the package structure of the package.(like pstree in unix shell) but noone was interested . i anyone was interested. i want to do it and submit
pip is actually developed as a separate project from python itself -- if you're interested in improving pip then your best bet is to get in touch with them through their mailing list or their bug tracker. On Aug 21, 2015 00:53, "shiva prasanth" <kesavarapu.siva@gmail.com> wrote:
