That code in my care
That sly command-line stare
That strips my operating system bare
It's whichcraft
This package provides cross-platform cross-python shutil.which functionality.
On Linux, Mac, Windows for Python 2.6, 2.7, or any of the 3s:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from whichcraft import which
>>> which('date')
'/bin/date'
>>> which('calendar')
'/bin/calendar'
>>> which('cookiecutter')
'/Users/pydanny/.envs/fun/bin/cookiecutter'
>>> which('a-made-up-name') is None
True
This is a shim of the shutil.which function that's designed to work across
multiple versions of Python and inside of windows. The code for Python 2.x is
based on Python 3 code that I extracted from source. I originally did this for
Cookiecutter_ but pulled it out in order to reduce line count for that project.

which directly, so we can support versions of Python 3 before 3.3 (@nickcoghlan)
