I'm looking for a programmatic way to get a list of all Python modules

If you don't actually import it, how can you know it could be imported?
Not all .so files are valid python modules. Not all .py files could be
imported by all python interpreters.
You're right, of course, but I'm not concerned by whether or not the
module is error-free and can be imported successfully.
I'm working on tab completion for module names. I have some alpha-quality
code working, so if I hit TAB after typing "import ma" I get this:
py> import ma
macpath macurl2path mailbox mailcap mangle
markupbase math
For what it's worth, importing "mangle" fails with a SyntaxError. But
that's okay, I don't expect tab completion to only show *valid*
modules :-)
Over the next few days I'll make an official announcement, but if anyone
wants a sneak-peek, check out:
http://code.google.com/p/tabhistory/source/browse/tabhistory.py
where I have indenting, code completion, filename completion, and module
completion all working to some degree or another.
Take a look at what has already been implemented in IPython:
