I started the following small project:
https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/import-tree
because I would like to find out what exactly depends on what at run-time, using
an import hook.
It works quite well for small examples but the main problem is that once a
module is imported
it's added to sys.modules and then it doesn't go through the import hook
anymore.
I tried to mess around with sys.modules but it might not be a good idea, and it
leads to easy
infinite loops.
Is there a good way to achieve this?
I guess I could do the loop detection myself, but that should not be too hard..
You want to monkeypatch __builtin__.__import__() instead. It always gets called.
