Yes, as Benjamin Kaplan pointed out and as I said in the email where I
posted this code snippet, "dependencies is a list of custom classes
that represent modules we need (e.g. numpy)." The code I posted was
not meant to be a complete working example. It's part of a larger
piece of code that I didn't have time to cook down to a simpler, self-
sufficient whole.
Also, in your list you've got "numyp" instead of "numpy".
Also, at the top of your code you have "import numpy" and "import
scipy" which defeats the purpose of this code.
Try this (untested):
import sys
dependencies = ("numpy", "scipy", "some_other_module")
for dependency in dependencies:
try:
__import__(dependency)
except ImportError:
# Uh oh!
print "%s is not installed" % dependency
else:
# The module loaded OK. Get a handle to it and try to extract
# version info.
# Many Python modules follow the convention of providing their
# version as a string in a __version__ attribute.
module = sys.modules[dependency]
for attribute_name in ("__version__", "__VERSION__", "VERSION",
"version"):
if hasattr(module, attribute_name):
version = getattr(module, attribute_name)
print "module %s has version %s" % (dependency, version)
break

# Try each module
import sys
import numpy
import scipy
import string
dependencies = "numyp", "scipy"
for dependency in dependencies:
try:
__import__(dependency.name)
except ImportError:
# Uh oh!
dependency.installed = None
else:
# The module loaded OK. Get a handle to it and try to extract
# version info.
# Many Python modules follow the convention of providing their
# version as a string in a __version__ attribute.
module = sys.modules[dependency.name]
# This is what I default to.
dependency.installed = "[version unknown]"
for attribute_name in ("__version__", "__VERSION__", "VERSION",
"version"):
if hasattr(module, attribute_name):
dependency.installed = getattr(module, attribute_name)
break
The result was this.
