copied!<p>Firstly, the <a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python libary reference</a> gives a blow by blow of what's actually included. And the <a href="http://docs.python.org/modindex.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">global module index</a> contains a neat, alphabetized summary of those same modules. If you have dependencies on a library, you can trivially test for the presence with a construct like:</p> <pre><code>try: import foobar except: print 'No foobar module' </code></pre> <p>If you do this on startup for modules not necessarily present in the distribution you can bail with a sensible diagnostic.</p> <p>The <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Python Package Index</a> plays a role similar to that of CPAN in the perl world and has a list of many third party modules of one sort or another. Browsing and searching this should give you a feel for what's about. There are also utilities such as <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/yolk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Yolk</a> which allow you to query the Python Package Index and the installed packages on Python.</p> <p>Other good online Python resources are:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="http://www.python.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.python.org</a></p></li> <li><p>The <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python" rel="nofollow noreferrer">comp.lang.python</a> newsgroup - this is still very active.</p></li> <li><p>Various of the <a href="http://www.python.org/links/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">items linked off</a> the Python home page.</p></li> <li><p>Various home pages and blogs by python luminaries such as <a href="http://www.pythonware.com/daily/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Daily Python URL</a>, <a href="http://www.effbot.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">effbot.org</a>, <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Python Cookbook</a>, <a href="http://blog.ianbicking.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ian Bicking's blog</a> (the guy responsible for SQLObject), and the <a href="http://planet.python.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Many blogs and sites off planet.python.org.</a></p></li> </ul>
