Sure! Jim wants to distinguish "absenceness" from "brokenness" for some reason.
So, why doesn't imp.findmodule() fit the bill? It doesn't handle packages. >>> import compiler.ast >>> import imp >>> imp.findmodule('compiler.ast') Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named compiler.ast Sure it does; you just have to ask it nicely: :) Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help >>> import imp >>> imp.findmodule('compiler') (None, 'C:\PYTHON22\lib\compiler', ('', '', 5)) >>> import compiler >>> imp.findmodule('ast',compiler.path) (<open file 'C:\PYTHON22\lib\compiler\ast.py', mode 'r' at 0x00A99660>, 'C:\PYTHON22\lib\compiler\ast.py', ('.py', 'r', 1)) >>>
Right. That's not exactly the API I had in mind though.
You could certainly create a usable API on top of find_module.
