RE: Listing modules from all installed packages

Just realized that you've asked for installed packages. Perhaps the following will do the trick. I don't know why the 'lib-tk' isn't included. Why not?

toplevel_packages = ['%s\\%s'%(ml.path,name)for ml,name,ispkg in pkgutil.iter_modules() if ispkg]
print '\n'.join(toplevel_packages)

> /Users/my_user/.virtualenvs/my_venv/src/debug_toolbar
