<h2 class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">Problem Formulation and Solution Overview</h2>
<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">In this article, you’ll learn how to display the imported modules in Python. </p>
<p>As a Python Coder, you will encounter times when you need to view a list of all imported modules possessing a <strong>global </strong>or <strong>local </strong>scope. This article answers the question below.</p>
<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-global-color-8-background-color has-background"><em><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f4ac.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Question</strong>: How would we write Python code to display the imported modules?</em></p>
<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">We can accomplish this task by one of the following options:</p>
