It needn't be. >>> from json import tool >>> tool.__file__ '/usr/lib/python2.7/json/tool.pyc' >>> json is a package and tool is one of the modules inside that. To get to this, I have a little shell function that I stole from Anand that has been super useful repeatedly. epy () { cmd="import $1 as a ; print a.__file__.endswith('.pyc') and a.__file__[:-1] or a.__file__" file=$(/usr/bin/env python -c $cmd) echo $file emacsclient --no-wait $file } If you want to read the source for the json module, just do $ epy json and the json module is loaded into Emacs.
