Overview
Concrete tool for printing system information and dependency versions for debugging, provided by scikit-learn.
Description
The sklearn.utils._show_versions module provides utility methods to print system information useful for debugging. It includes functions to gather system info (_get_sys_info), dependency versions (_get_deps_info), and a main show_versions function that outputs version information for Python, scikit-learn, and key dependencies like NumPy, SciPy, Cython, pandas, matplotlib, joblib, and threadpoolctl.
Usage
Use this utility when filing bug reports or diagnosing environment-related issues with scikit-learn. It provides a quick snapshot of the runtime environment.
