module check

[Victor Polukcht]

Can anybody suggest a correct way of checking in python module exists
and correctly installed from python program.

I'm at work so I can't test this, but I do beleive the inspect module
can help you out. If it can't you can always try import the module
in a try-catch statement, catching ImportError, however ImportError may
be raised if the module you imported has trouble loading another
module, but it shouln't be to hard to track down where the ImportError
came from, a traceback object can give a lot more information than you
would beleive.

Not sure I understand the question, but I'll try:

try: import yourmodule
except:
print "Can't import yourmodule"
