Is there a way to determine -- when parsing -- if a word contains a builtin name or other imported system module name?

Is there a way to determine -- when parsing -- if a word contains a
builtin name or other imported system module name?

Like "iskeyword" determines if a word is a keyword!

Look in the keyword module; there is actually an "iskeyword" function
there :)

For modules, sys.modules is a dictionary of the modules that have been
imported.

As David pointed out, the keys in sys.modules are the names of all
imported modules throughout the interpreter (but not just those in the
current scope).

Likewise, do "import __builtin__" and you'll have access to all the
builtin names, which you could test against using "hasattr(__builtin__,
name)".
