The above library extracts module info from Sphinx objects.inv database https://docs.python.org/2.7/objects.inv which is some binary format and requires local parsing. Ideally, the Sphinx should give out the open data about stdlib structure, such as : https://docs.python.org/2.7/dataset/1.0/modules.json <https://docs.python.org/2.7/objects.inv> https://docs.python.org/2.7/dataset/1.0/modules.csv <https://docs.python.org/2.7/objects.inv> list all module names, sorted by name Then you can easily load this data into web app or use it as a table for analysis. http://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/Main_Page
