modxpy 1.8.1

ModX — The Python Module Universe at Your Fingertips

🌟 ModXPy — The Python Module Universe at Your Fingertips 🌟

Welcome to ModXPy, the ultimate playground for Python’s modules.
With ModXPy you can instantly import, explore, and experiment with the entire Python standard library — plus any installed third-party modules — all from one simple interface.

UPDATE 1.8.1---

Updated vcompat() to print

a neater looking table instead of list.

Fix multiple bugs of vcompat(), including

f-string bugs, printing bugs, etc.---

🚀 Installation

Install directly from PyPI: pip install modxpy

In Python, import as import modx (not modxpy)

Functions:

🔹 import_all()

Imports about every standard library module at once.

🔹 import_random(n)

Imports n random modules from the standard library.

🔹 import_letter(letter)

Imports all standard library modules whose names start with the given letter.

🔹 import_external()

Attempts to import every third-party module you currently have installed.

🔹 import_screen()

Imports every module that uses a screen/GUI (like pygame or turtle).

🔹 list_importall()

Returns a list of modules that would be imported by import_all().

🔹 modules_loaded()

Shows how many modules you currently have downloaded on your device.

🔹 imported()

Lists the modules imported since ModX loaded (user + ModX), including dependencies.

🔹 modx_imported()

Lists the modules that were ONLY imported by ModX, NOT including user imports and dependencies.

🔹 import_letter(letter)

Import every standard library module from the ModX 'modules' list whose name starts with the given letter (case-insensitive).

🔹 search_modules(keyword)

Search for modules whose names contain the keyword.

🔹 info(module_name)

Shows basic info about typed module: file path, built-in status, docstring.

🔹 is_imported(module)

Checks if module is currently imported into Python Shell (Not Pythonlib)

🔹 dependencies()

Shows what other modules a specific module depends on without importing it.

🔹 vcompat(module_name, python_version)

Checks if a module is compatible with a python version, if a version was given.

🔹 modfunctions(module)

Show how many and what functions a module has without importing it.

Example Code:

import modx # import ModX module

Import almost every standard library module at once

modx.import_all()

Output: (Imports 200+ standard library modules silently)

Bulk import completed!

Show all modules imported after ModX loaded (user + ModX)

modx.imported()

Output:

Modules imported after ModX load (user, ModX and dependencies):

- _collections_abc

- _weakrefset

- abc

- collections

- codecs

- copyreg

- encodings

- encodings.aliases

- encodings.utf_8

- enum

- io

- keyword

- linecache

- os

- random

- re

- sys

- turtle

- zipfile

Total modules imported after ModX load: 19

Show only modules imported via ModX functions

modx.modx_imported()

Output:

Modules imported via ModX:

- collections

- json

- math

- random

- re

- turtle

- zipfile

Total modules imported via ModX: 7

Import 5 random modules from ModX list

modx.import_random(5)

Output: ['turtle', 'json', 'zipfile', 'math', 're']

These 5 modules were randomly selected and imported

Import all modules starting with letter 't'

modx.import_letter('t')

Output: ['tabnanny', 'tarfile', 'tempfile', 'test', 'textview', 'textwrap', 'threading', 'timeit', 'tkinter', 'token', 'tokenize', 'tomllib', 'tooltip', 'trace', 'traceback', 'tracemalloc', 'tree', 'turtle', 'turtledemo', 'types', 'typing']

All standard library modules starting with 't' were imported

Import all installed third-party modules (if any)

modx.import_external()

Output: (Imports numpy, pandas, requests, etc. if installed silently)

Third-party modules imported if available

Import common screen/GUI/game modules if available

modx.import_screen()

Output: (Imports pygame, tkinter, turtle, etc. if available silently)

GUI modules imported if available

Get the list of modules import_all() would import

modx.list_importall()

Output: ['collections', 'sys', 'asyncio', 'concurrent', 'ctypes', 'dbm', 'email', 'encodings', 'ensurepip', 'html', ...] (250+ modules)

Complete list of all modules ModX can import

Get list of standard library modules NOT yet imported

modx.nonimported()

Output: ['abc', 'argparse', 'ast', 'base64', 'bdb', 'bisect', 'bz2', 'calendar', 'cmd', 'codecs', ...] (xxx modules)

Standard library modules that haven't been imported yet

Search for modules containing the keyword 'json'

modx.search_modules('json')

Output: ['json']

Found modules containing 'json' in their names

Show information about a specific module

modx.info('random')

Output:

Module: random

Path: /usr/lib/python3.11/random.py

Docstring:

Random variable generators.

Shows file path and docstring for the random module

#Check if random is imported is_imported("random") #Output: True

#Check all dependencies of module random dependencies("random") #Output: Dependencies found: _collections_abc _random _sha2 argparse bisect hashlib itertools math operator os statistics time warnings

Show if pygame is compatible with Python 2.0

modx.vcompat("pygame", 2.0) #Output: Compatibility Report for: pygame Target Python Version: 2.0 Warnings Found: 2

1. UNAVAILABLE: match - Added in 3.10
2. SYNTAX: f-strings require Python 3.6+

Show ModX built-in help screen

modx.modxhelp()

Output:
