How should I run pip-date in python3? - newbieAuggie2019 - Mar-31-2023

Hello once again!

I keep trying to see the date of the installation of my modules in python3.

I installed for that task even one more module called pip-date, but the command to run that module is "$ pip-date" in Linux. How should it be in Windows?

Thanks a lot,

I'm not a Windows user but look perhaps in the folder

Output:
c:\users\YOURUSER\appdata\local\programs\python\pythonXXX\Scripts

Hmmm, it seems that actually the dollar sign ("$") is a sort of prompt symbol in Linux, similar to the sign ">" in the Windows shell...

That means that to run the module pip-date in Linux, you just type the name of the module, and then press the "ENTER" key.

If I do that in the anaconda prompt on windows, it shows the '"pip-date" is not recognized as an internal or external command [...]' error, which apparently it is due to a wrong... path!!! Alas! (I hate configurating paths, as I usually do it wrong).

When I type this:

(base) C:\Users\MyName>pip list -o

I get this:

As the list is alphabetically ordered, you can easily find pip-date on it, so I'm sure I have pip-date installed. How should I do to make it run?

Thanks again,

Sorry, you probably posted your advice while I was taking a long time writing my comments.

In my Windows 10 I found the pip-date.py in C:\Users\MyName\miniconda3\Scripts from where I could copy, paste, and run it on Spyder, but again, ALL the modules are shown to have been installed on exactly the same date, although not exactly at the same time, as you can see in the following excerpt:

which I don't think it's right. Oh, well...

Thanks a lot again!

What makes you think the install dates shouldn't be the same. miniconda is not as bloated as anaconda, but it still installs a lot of packages compared to doing a Python install, and the packages it installs are all required. What were you thinking of uninstalling?

You most install pip-date when (base) environment is active,then it will work.
Example.

.... ect

This is my own enviroment that i made,i never use (base).
If i go back to (base) it will not work.

(tom_env) G:\all_flask\2023\web_dir (main)
λ activate base

conda.bat activate base

(base) G:\all_flask\2023\web_dir (main)
λ pip-date
'pip-date' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

(base) G:\all_flask\2023\web_dir (main)

The i haver to install pip install pip-date in (base),then it will work,and find package that is only in (base) environment.
Understating how environment works is big part of using Anacond/Miniconda.
There is no paths problem when a environment is activated it will use only path for that environment.

If i look back so have i answered you before about this,look at this Thread again .
