Yes, I'm afraid that _I_ was very confused. I am gradually getting the mess

The problem may be that I have again failed to understand.
As I understand it, I can, should I wish to do so, write and save a subroutine
that I wish to reuse rather than write the same subroutine out mult

Others have already answered this, but consider how you might explore
the answer at the interactive interpreter:
>>> import os
>>> os.__file__

You are out of luck, there is no sys.py. The sys module is so tightly

If sys.py is a file, it must be somewhere; but I can't find it. Where is it?

The modules within it must surely be somewhere too. But since I can't find
sys, I obviously can't find the modules. Again, I'd like to look at them.
