equivalent of phpinfo.php for python?

[paratracker]

It would be nice if there was a script (like phpinfo.php) that you
could drop on the server and could run to discover whether mod_wsgi,
mod_python, or mod_proxy were running, i.e. whether the hosting
company supports python frameworks. If anyone has or knows of such a
script, I hope you'll post it here.

Thanks...

Good idea. we should look into it

I looked into this.

This is not that different than embedding in a web2py view something
like

{{=BEAUTIFY(request)}}

The main difference is that "request" does not contain information
about installed apache modules. I am not sure what the best cross-
platform way to detect those is.

{{=BEAUTIFY(request)}} covers everything described there but the list
of python packages. You can get that with

{{import pkgutil}}
{{=BEAUTIFY([item[1] for item in pkgutil.walk_packages(onerror=lambda
x:x) if item[2] and '.' not in item[1]])}}

or create a

{{=web2pyinfo()}}

that has the stuff above in web2py core ;)

send me a patch. Let's agree and what else should go in there.
