Utility to locate python modules from the command line

Python utility to locate packages or resources in the python path. The module is a thin layer around importlib to display the location and contents of an installed module or package. The script exits with an error code if the module is not found. This is similar to python -minspect <module> -d but adds the option to display the package contents as a tree.

  python name

Options:
