shutil.which for those not using Python 3.3 yet.
A copy & paste backport of Python 3.3's shutil.which
function.
First, install the package: pip install shutilwhich
Importing the package::
import shutilwhich
will monkey-patch the shutil
package, so from that point on you can simply
import the which
function::
from shutil import which
To keep things a little more concise, you can also import which
directly
from shutilwhich
::
from shutilwhich import which
This will still monkeypatch the shutil
module. On Python 3.3 and above, the
module never do anything but return the stdlib shutil.which
function.
