Get a list of installed python packages

JoeBorgione — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 21:19:21 GMT

I'm going to bite the bullet perform the incremental upgrade from ArcGIS Pro 2.4.0 to 2.4.2. In a python command window, I can run the pip list command and get the list and/or redirect that command to a file:

pip list

pip list > C:\temp\pip.txt‍‍‍

Is there a python command that I can run in a spyder console get the same result? I haven't found anything in my google travels...

You can also direct it to a file

conda env export > c:/temp/some.yaml‍

PS If you are using a conda environment, don't use pip unless you really really have to. A great way to foul up an environment. And remember you have an esri version and not a full Anaconda installation
