Welcome to whatprovides’s documentation!

whatprovides is a package that allows you to search for python modules that contain declared classes, functions and variables by the name of the search object.

This is an analogue of the yum whatprovides command in Centos.

Search is performed in the current active virtual environment.

For example:

whatprovides.py ArgumentParser

Will return something like this:

class: ArgumentParser: /usr/lib/python3.7/argparse.py
