Where can I find pre-installed packages that comes with Python IDLE?

I'm more specifically wanting to know whether sqlite3 and json comes with python IDLE or do I have to install them separately to use them inside IDLE, If so can anyone link me to those installing procedures of sqlite3 and json on Python IDLE?

I also want to know where I can find the list of other pre-installed packages that comes with basic Python IDLE (i.e. Python 2.7.14) . I am a Beginner and it would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Solution

  • To get a list of your packages, from your terminal, launch python :

    python

    Then

    help("modules")

    Another solution, if you want to check if json or sqlite3 are installed, start Python from your terminal :

    python

    Then import sqlite3 and json:

    import json
import sqlite3

    You can check theirs version with :

    >>> json.__version__
'2.0.9'
>>> sqlite3.version
'2.6.0'
