Use cases for sys.module_names: * When computing dependencies of a project, ignore modules which are part of the stdlib: https://github.com/jackmaney/pypt/issues/3 * Trace the execution of third party code, but ignore stdlib, use --ignore-module option of trace: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6463918/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-all-the-python-standard-library-modules * When reformatting a Python source file, group imports of stdlib modules. The isort module contains the list of stdlib modules, one list py Python version: https://github.com/PyCQA/isort/tree/develop/isort/stdlibs which is generated from the online Python documentation. --- The isort uses the following script to generate the list of stdlib modules: https://github.com/PyCQA/isort/blob/develop/scripts/mkstdlibs.py The script uses sphinx.ext.intersphinx.fetch_inventory(...)["py:module"]. This API uses objects.inv from the online Python documentation. Example of Python 3.9: https://docs.python.org/3.9/objects.inv On the "dev" version, mkstdlibs.py lists 211 modules. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42955> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
