Python: Get the actual module object for a given object

Python Basic: Exercise-126 with Solution

Get Module Object

Write a Python program to get the actual module object for a given object.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

# Import the 'getmodule' function from the 'inspect' module.
from inspect import getmodule

# Import the 'sqrt' function from the 'math' module.
from math import sqrt

# Use the 'getmodule' function to get the module where the 'sqrt' function is defined.
# Then, print the module information for the 'sqrt' function.
print(getmodule(sqrt))

Sample Output:

<module 'math' (built-in)>

Flowchart:

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

# Import the 'inspect' module.
import inspect

# Define a function named 'add' that takes two arguments, 'x' and 'y'.
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

# Use the 'inspect.getmodule' function to get the module where the 'add' function is defined.
# Then, print the module information for the 'add' function.
print(inspect.getmodule(add))

Sample Output:

<module '__main__' from '/tmp/sessions/5ced515afe46d808/main.py'>
