You need to import it. If you're curious, you can find out exactly
where it's imported from like this:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.7/inspect.pyc'

The path will be different on your system, as this is a Debian box,
but the technique is the same. However, all that matters is that you
hadn't imported it. The Lib directory is one of the places where
importable modules are found.
