How to list imported modules with Python?

To list imported modules with Python, we can use the modulefinder module.

For instance, we write

from modulefinder import ModuleFinder

finder = ModuleFinder()
finder.run_script("myscript.py")
for name, mod in finder.modules.items():
    print(name)

to create a ModuleFinder object.

Then we call run_script on the object with the path of the script that we want to list the imported modules for.

Then we loop through the dict returned with the module name as the keys with a for loop.

In it, we print the name of the imported module traversed by the loop.
