1. Rename the file
2. Re-install all installed packages one-by-one until the file reappears

Solution 2:

1. search which package installed by pip contains filename:

pip list | tail -n +3 | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs pip show -f | grep filename_to_find

2. but if it was installed via conda you have to do this instead:

grep filename_to_find  ~/anaconda3/envs/ENVNAME/conda-meta/*

• replace filename_to_find with the filename you need
• replace ~/anaconda3 with the path where your conda resides
• replace ENVNAME with the conda env name you want

(the first recipe is from OP)

Solution 3:

which python
