I believe there must be a way... Maybe by creating an index file for each module. I'm not sure, but I think the number of packages on apt-get is much more than the number of python built-in modules (obviously I don't know their number), yet it is doable with the case of apt-get. On Sun, Aug 24, 20

You're welcome! I wasn't trying to discourage you -- I was trying to prompt you to do it the best way, as a third party open source project (perhaps a contributed one to iPython, etc). Brett suggests that the index might be already around somewhere (maybe just for the standard library, but that w
