finally getting back to clawing my way thru the python 3 book so
probably a number of newbie questions coming up. first one -- can i
check if a module is importable (equivalently, exists on sys.path, i
assume) without trying to import it first?
i can see that i can use try/except and just run "import" -- is that
the accepted way to test?

AFAIK, that is why ImportError is for.
try:
import module
except ImportError:
# handle me
pass
is commonly used.
