Hi
I am working from within python and want to know the best way to know if a certain package is installed for use on my machine.
I want to know from within python that a specific executable file is on my path where I could actually run the command from a prompt in a system shell.
I don't want to restrict exacltly where the file is and I don't want to do a general try catch.
Are there any simple one or two liners that anyone is aware of?
Thanks
Stuart
