How can I know the importing node path of a module?

For example, if I do

import xxx.xxx

Then somehow module yyy gets imported.

How can I know the path of the imports of yyy? something like

xxx.xxx -> zzz -> aaa -> yyy

  • Maybe you can use listing multiple times: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1707709/list-all-the-modules-that-are-part-of-a-python-package – HK boy Aug 05 '19 at 08:52

    No, that is different question. that question is talking about how to find modules starting from a root. My question is the other way around, `how to find the path to root from a leaf` – Jackson Tale Aug 05 '19 at 08:55
  • Oh, sorry about that. – HK boy Aug 05 '19 at 08:57
  • You want to know the import chain to a leaf with code that is located in your leaf? – MofX Aug 05 '19 at 09:52

If you start Python with the -vv flag then you will see verbose logs, including everything it tries to import.

Just to know the path using python just use

import sys
print(sys.path)

check all the modules available in site-packages only if you want to explore libraries manually
