Return a list of imported Python modules used in a script?

Question

I am writing a program that categorizes a list of Python files by which modules they import. As such I need to scan the collection of .py files ad return a list of which mod

Answer 1

This works - using importlib to actually import the module, and inspect to get the members :

#! /usr/bin/env python
#
# test.py  
#
# Find Modules
#
import inspect, importlib as implib

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mod = implib.import_module( "example" )
    for i in inspect.getmembers(mod, inspect.ismodule ):
        print i[0]

#! /usr/bin/env python
#
# example.py
#
import sys 
from os import path

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print "Hello World !!!!"

Output :

tony@laptop .../~:$ ./test.py
path
sys
