Return a list of imported Python modules used in a script?
- by Jono Bacon
Hi All,
I am writing a program that categorizes a list of Python files by which modules they import. As such I need to scan the collection of .py files ad return a list of which modules they import. As an example, if one of the files I import has the following lines:
import os
import sys, gtk
I would like it to return:
["os", "sys", "gtk"]
I played with modulefinder and wrote:
from modulefinder import ModuleFinder
finder = ModuleFinder()
finder.run_script('testscript.py')
print 'Loaded modules:'
for name, mod in finder.modules.iteritems():
print '%s ' % name,
but this returns more than just the modules used in the script. As an example in a script which merely has:
import os
print os.getenv('USERNAME')
The modules returned from the ModuleFinder script return:
tokenize heapq __future__ copy_reg sre_compile _collections cStringIO _sre functools random cPickle __builtin__ subprocess cmd gc __main__ operator array select _heapq _threading_local abc _bisect posixpath _random os2emxpath tempfile errno pprint binascii token sre_constants re _abcoll collections ntpath threading opcode _struct _warnings math shlex fcntl genericpath stat string warnings UserDict inspect repr struct sys pwd imp getopt readline copy bdb types strop _functools keyword thread StringIO bisect pickle signal traceback difflib marshal linecache itertools dummy_thread posix doctest unittest time sre_parse os pdb dis
...whereas I just want it to return 'os', as that was the module used in the script.
Can anyone help me achieve this?
