31.6. modulefinder — Find modules used by a script

Source code: Lib/modulefinder.py

This module provides a ModuleFinder class that can be used to determine the set of modules imported by a script. modulefinder.py can also be run as a script, giving the filename of a Python script as its argument, after which a report of the imported modules will be printed.

modulefinder. AddPackagePath ( pkg_name, path )

Record that the package named pkg_name can be found in the specified path.

modulefinder. ReplacePackage ( oldname, newname )

Allows specifying that the module named oldname is in fact the package named newname. The most common usage would be to handle how the _xmlplus package replaces the xml package.

class modulefinder. ModuleFinder ( [ path=None, debug=0, excludes=[], replace_paths=[] ] )

This class provides run_script() and report() methods to determine the set of modules imported by a script. path can be a list of directories to search for modules; if not specified, sys.path is used. debug sets the debugging level; higher values make the class print debugging messages about what it’s doing. excludes is a list of module names to exclude from the analysis. replace_paths is a list of (oldpath, newpath) tuples that will be replaced in module paths.

report ( )

Print a report to standard output that lists the modules imported by the script and their paths, as well as modules that are missing or seem to be missing.

run_script ( pathname )

Analyze the contents of the pathname file, which must contain Python code.

modules

A dictionary mapping module names to modules. See Example usage of ModuleFinder.
