Hello. I am new to the Python language.
I would like to know how to display and store the path of each mondule
that is called.
Similar to the old READY TRACE in COBOL of long ago.

Thanks,
George

Modules are imported, not called.

It's certainly possible to trace function calls, if that would help.
sys.settrace allows you to establish a function that gets called
whenever a Python function call is executed. The documentation is a
little sparse, but you can find a rough example under "Crude Python
Debugging" in

If the OP is only interested in import statements, perhaps the -v flag is
enough:

python -v script_name.py

It prints a line (on stderr) for each module imported, stating its name
and source file.

Thanks for the information.
