recursive import list

Philippe C. Martin

Hi,

I have a fairly large project going on and would like to figure out
automatically from the source which files are being imported.

ex: find_out mymain.py
Is there an easy way to achieve that ?

Regards,

Philippe

If you use your own import function, like below, you could create a
list of all imported modules.

#!/usr/bin/env python

mod_list = []

def my_import(name, globals = None, locals = None, fromlist = None):
mod_list.append(name)
mod = __import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist)
return mod

os = my_import('os')
print os.name

print mod_list

sys = my_import('sys')
print sys.version

print mod_list

Why not use sys.modules? To answer the question actually asked, check
for a __file__ attributes on each module in sys.modules, and print
that if it exists.

That won't list builtin modules that are imported - but they don't
have files to be imported, so I assume that the OP doesn't want them
listed.

Thanks to both, I'll try this.

My goal would have been to just launch the "recipe" on the main module, and
get the list for all modules.
