The software helps users easily locate the path to Python modules directly from the command-line with the use of simple commands.
As someone who frequently works with Python modules, I was excited to come across pywhich. This helpful software allows you to easily find the source file for one or multiple Python modules and print the results to standard out.
One of the standout features of pywhich is its ability to find a module's bytecode file if a .py file cannot be located. This added functionality makes it even easier to locate and access the information you need.
While I was initially concerned that a script with the same name and function may already exist, the developer comments put my worries at ease. It turns out that there was indeed another script with the same purpose, but this is likely due to the obvious nature of the task at hand.
If the author of the existing script would prefer to have their version featured on pypi instead of pywhich, the developer graciously invites them to reach out via email. Overall, I highly recommend pywhich for anyone who works with Python modules on a regular basis.
