[Python-ideas] new feature for pip a moduletree

[shiva prasanth]

pip list only shows the name of package which auther wants which cant be
imported
for import we have to search for internet in which package format auther
has written


what i want to introduce is a new argument for pip
this is new output which will show the list of all available packages.
and if there is a subpackage it should be represented as branch tree
and if all the leafs should be modules

it is justlike pstree command in linux.
$pip moduletree name


name==version
packagename-----+----{subpackage1}-----+----{module1}
                         |                               +----{module2}
                         |                               +----{module3}
                         +----{subpackage2}------+---{module1}
                         +----{subpackage3}------+-----{module}
                         +-----mainmodule1
                         +-----mainmodule2

$pip moduletree
# will give the above output for the  for each package in pip list
$pip moduletree packagename --classes
will output the availble class names in the leaf node
