Have you benchmarked that? I would imagine (although I don't know for
sure) that pkg_which is just calling whatever method it uses to get
the answer once each time for each command line argument, which would
mean that they are basically equivalent.

It seems that the current solution is needlessly complicated (although
I haven't benchmarked either). What would be wrong with something like:

for file in `find <pythondir> -type f`; do
	pkg_info -qW $file
done | sort -u
