The list is the same on all platforms on purpose ;-) Example: >>> 'winsound' in sys.stdlib_module_names True >>> 'ossaudiodev' in sys.stdlib_module_names True For example, grouping stdlib imports using sys.stdlib_module_names gives the same output on any platform, even if there were missing dependencies when you built Python.
