Module list generation

[Doug Kearns]

Is this the best/simplest way to generate a module list?

python -c 'from pydoc import help; help("modules")'

Thanks,
Doug

I am not sure if this is what you want, but how about:

For python 2.4, try:
python -c "import sys; print sorted(sys.modules)"

For earlier pythons, use:
python -c "import sys; nms = sys.modules.keys(); nms.sort(); print nms"
or:
python -c "import sys; print sys.modules.keys()"
if you don't care about order.

I am not sure if this is what you want, but how about:

I'm updating the zsh completion function for python and need to
generate a list of modules for completing the new '-m' option.

For python 2.4, try:
python -c "import sys; print sorted(sys.modules)"

I don't know python, but as I understand it, this only lists _loaded_
modules.

Thanks,
Doug
