There seems to be packages that are missing in Python Module Index

[kwhkim]

Hello, great package!

I refrain from naming any module the same as python standard module. So I scraped from Python Module Index site
and I recently found your module so I check my result with your result.

I scraped from
https://docs.python.org/3.8/py-modindex.html

and see the difference from what the this package has.

Here is whole bunch of modules that are missing in Python Module Index(v3.8) but exist in what I got from stdlib_list("3.8")

{'_abc',
'_ast',
'_asyncio',
'_bisect',
'_blake2',
'_bootlocale',
'_bz2',
'_codecs',
'_codecs_cn',
'_codecs_hk',

'_codecs_jp',
'_codecs_kr',
'_codecs_tw',
'_collections',
'_collections_abc',
'_compat_pickle',
'_compression',
'_contextvars',
'_crypt',
'_csv',
'_ctypes',
'_ctypes_test',
'_curses',
'_curses_panel',
'_datetime',
'_dbm',

'_functools',
'_gdbm',
'_hashlib',
'_heapq',

'_py_abc',
'_pydecimal',
'_pyio',
'_queue',
'_random',
'_sha1',
'_sha256',
'_sha3',
'_sha512',
'_signal',
'_sitebuiltins',
'_socket',
'_sqlite3',

'_struct',

'_testmultiphase',
'_threading_local',
'_tkinter',
'_tracemalloc',
'_uuid',
'_warnings',
'_weakref',
'_weakrefset',
'_xxsubinterpreters',
'_xxtestfuzz',
'antigravity',
'genericpath',
'idlelib',
'ntpath',
'nturl2path',
'opcode',
'posixpath',
'pydoc_data',
'pyexpat',
'sre_compile',
'sre_constants',
'sre_parse',
'this',
'xxlimited',
'xxsubtype'}

It might be that python has upgraded in 3.8.

I check the validity of the list above.

import this works but import xxlimited does not.

So neither your list nor mine is perfect. What is your source? My source is the url mentioned above.

Here is the full list of modules I failed to import with __import__()

No module named '_crypt' 19 _crypt
No module named '_curses' 23 _curses
No module named '_curses_panel' 24 _curses_panel
No module named '_dbm' 26 _dbm
No module named '_gdbm' 32 _gdbm
No module named '_posixshmem' 49 _posixshmem
No module named '_posixsubprocess' 50 _posixsubprocess
No module named '_uuid' 80 _uuid
No module named '_xxtestfuzz' 85 _xxtestfuzz
No module named 'xxlimited' 99 xxlimited

Oh it only supports the version up until 3.5...

Yeah, this package additionally contains modules that appear in a Python distribution but aren't considered public (as indicated by the _prefix format).

Unfortunately, there's no incredibly sound way to get a "perfect" list of all standard library modules, since individual distributions might have different lists based on their target platform, OS, or even how they're built. The work in #64 will make things slightly more consistent here, but there will probably still be gaps around individual OSes and build configurations (until I have more time to work out reliable methods for retrieving those).

Closing as intended.
