Hello Helioids! Just found this service and started poking around. I'm glad HelioHost exists! Determining without command line access which python packages are available was a bit tricky. I'm documenting a solution here so it will show up for others in search. The following script is tested as working on server Johnny, under Python 3.6. Upload it to, for example, /home/USERNAME/public_html/cgi-bin/SCRIPTNAME.py. Don't forget to make it executable (chmod 755 SCRIPTNAME.py). Sending a request to that file from your browser, for example by visiting YOURSUBDOMAIN.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/SCRIPTNAME.py, will return installed module details wrapped in html that should be good enough for your browser to parse. Hope someone else finds this helpful!
#!/usr/bin/python3.6
import sys
import pip
version = sys.version
modules = pip.get_installed_distributions()
print("Content-type: text/html\n\n", "Python ", version, "<br><br>")
for mod in sorted(modules, key=lambda mod: mod.key):
try:
deets = next(pip.commands.show.search_packages_info([mod.key]))
print(deets["name"], "<br>")
print(deets["version"], "<br>")
print(deets["summary"], "<br>")
print(deets["author"], "<br>")
print(deets["author-email"], "<br>")
print(deets["home-page"], "<br><br>")
except:
print("<p>", mod.key, "</p>")
