How to know the loaded modules and its details from a python interpreter.

A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements.
The file name is the module name with the suffix .py appended. Modules are objects. After importing a module ,the reference to a module can be taken from the global dictionary sys.modules. Within a module, the module’s name (as a string) is available as the value of the global variable __name__.
