How do I find out what Python libraries are installed on my Mac?

Question

I\'m just starting out with Python, and have found out that I can import various libraries. How do I find out what libraries exist on my Mac that I can import? How do I find out

Answer 1

Every standard python distribution has these libraries, which cover most of what you will need in a project.

In case you need to find out if a library exists at runtime, you do it like this

try:
    import ObscureModule
except ImportError:
    print "you need to install ObscureModule"
    sys.exit(1) # or something like that
