Posit Connect: check if Python content is enabled?

Hi all,

Is there a way to check as an enduser if python content is enabled in posit Connect without trying to deploy a python shiny or streamlit app and wait to see if it will fail or not?

As an admin I am aware that from Posit Connect in the Admin tab, Metrics, Usage scorecard I can find python_shiny and python_streamlit but I believe those get true only after you deploy the relevant content.

I would like to check if python content is enabled (in the config file) without having access on the actual config file.

Thank you,
Georgios

Using the command-line interface will tell you the versions of Python installed on the server, which for versions of Connect >= 2023.12.0 should indicate whether you can run any type of Python content: details - rsconnect-python

❯ rsconnect details --server https://pub.demo.posit.team -k $CONNECT_API_KEY

You can also get this information from the API:

If you're running a version of Connect older than that, it's a good time to upgrade.
