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.

classmodulefinder.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.

Example usage of ModuleFinder

The script that is going to get analyzed later on (bacon.py):

importre,itertools
try:
 importbaconhameggs
except ImportError:
 pass
try:
 importguido.python.ham
except ImportError:
 pass

The script that will output the report of bacon.py:

frommodulefinderimport ModuleFinder
finder = ModuleFinder()
finder.run_script('bacon.py')
print('Loaded modules:')
for name, mod in finder.modules.items():
 print('%s: ' % name, end='')
 print(','.join(list(mod.globalnames.keys())[:3]))
print('-'*50)
print('Modules not imported:')
print('\n'.join(finder.badmodules.keys()))

Sample output (may vary depending on the architecture):

Loaded modules:
_types:
copyreg: _inverted_registry,_slotnames,__all__
re._compiler: isstring,_sre,_optimize_unicode
_sre:
re._constants: REPEAT_ONE,makedict,AT_END_LINE
sys:
re: __module__,finditer,_expand
itertools:
__main__: re,itertools,baconhameggs
re._parser: _PATTERNENDERS,SRE_FLAG_UNICODE
array:
types: __module__,IntType,TypeType

Modules not imported:
