Add Python version of openstudio gem_list in OpenStudio Help

[DavidGoldwasser]

Enhancement Request

Detailed Description

Possible Implementation

[jmarrec]

For a workaround (and possible C++ implementation)

openstudio -c 'help("modules")'

[jmarrec]

Even better, with python 3.12 only

$os_build_rel/Products/openstudio -c 'import importlib.metadata; mods = sorted([f"{x.name}=={x.version}" for x in importlib.metadata.distributions()]); [print(x) for x in mods]'

or

$os_build_rel/Products/openstudio -c 'from pip._internal.operations.freeze import freeze; [print(x) for x in freeze()]'

Wow, the python engine is actually picking up my python virtualenv. @kbenne bringing this to your attention.

(py312)(3.2.2)julien@cli (develop *>)$ $os_build_rel/Products/openstudio -c 'import sys; [print(x) for x in sys.path]'

I noticed this because the above commands seem to add some modules that were definitely not in the E+ python_lib.

And then I tried:

$ env -i $os_build_rel/Products/openstudio -c 'from pip._internal.operations.freeze import freeze; [print(x) for x in freeze()]'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Error executing Python code
Aborted (core dumped)

This works

$ env -i $os_build_rel/Products/openstudio -c 'import importlib.metadata; mods = sorted([f"{x.name}=={x.version}" for x in importlib.metadata.distributions()]); [print(x) for x in mods]'
