GUI list of installed packages

[Larz60+]

Hello,

I had this posted on python-forum.org.
It's a simple tkinter list of installed packages and version numbers

import tkinter.tix as tk
import tkinter.filedialog as tf
import pip


class GetPackages:
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.w = parent
        self.bgc1 = '#ffffe5'
        self.bgc2 = 'Lavender'
        self.bgc3 = ' LightCyan'
        self.pkglist = None
        self.w.geometry('400x400+10+10')
        self.w.title("Larz60+ Python Package List")
        self.process_data()

    def get_pkgs_from_pip(self):
        self.pkglist = pip.get_installed_distributions()

    def process_data(self):
        w = self.w

        # Get Package list
        self.get_pkgs_from_pip()

        t1 = tk.Text(w, wrap=tk.WORD, undo=0, bg=self.bgc1)
        t1.pack(expand=1, fill=tk.BOTH)
        t1scroll = tk.Scrollbar(t1)
        t1.configure(yscrollcommand=t1scroll.set)
        t1scroll.config(command=t1.yview)
        t1scroll.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y)
        b1 = tk.Button(w, text='Save', command=self.save_results)
        b1.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM)

        t1.insert(tk.END, "{Package Name} -- {Version Info}\n\n")
        for item in self.pkglist:
            t1.insert(tk.END, "   {} -- {}\n".format(item.key, item.version))

    def save_results(self):
        filename = tf.asksaveasfilename()
        with open(filename, 'w') as f:
            for item in self.pkglist:
                f.write('{},{}\n'.format(item.key, item.version))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = tk.Tk()
    GetPackages(root)
    root.mainloop()

Have you considered using pip freeze for the file dump?

No, saving was an afterthought. I'll leave that up to the user
or if you wish, add it as an option (but leave the current save as well)
