How to find if setuptools is installed in python

Question

Is there a way to find out if setuptools is installed in python? I am following a tutorial in which setuptools is mentioned as pre-requisites but I don’t know if I have installed it or no.

Answer 1

You can use python interpreter to check it:

Enter python to get in the python interpreter

In python interpreter, run the following code:

>>> import sys
>>> 'setuptools' in sys.modules.keys()

This will return True if it is installed and False if it is not.
