How can I verify if a particular Python package is installed?
Add-on tools such as numpy and scipy are installed. Others would be under the install tree located at:
/opt/shared/python/
in the version specific site-packages directory. Another approach uses pip.
| > module load python/2.7.6 > pip list |
