The style is still a sticking point for me -- too many evals (a nasty
lure for evil-doers).
Recall that sys.modules is a dictionary from module names to modules.
Any python object (including a module) will return attributes listed
in a dir(obj) with getattr(obj, attributename). So, no evals are
needed in this program at all.
I also wonder if you've ever used maxlevel>1. It seems you'd expand
to way too many names to be useful.
Finally, if you use StringIO (or cStringIO), most of your string
construction can be turned into prints in a way similar to:
def printnames(namelist, dest=None):
for name in sorted(namelist, key=str.lower):
print >>dest, name
from cStringIO import StringIO
def textnames(namelist):
hold = StringIO()
printnames(namelist, hold)
return hold.getvalue()
