Your first instinct that it is too long is correct. Just call it "stdlib" or "stdlib_names". The fact that it is a frozen set of module names will be obvious from just looking at it, and there is no need for the name to explain everything about it. We have:
The sys module already has a sys.modules attribute, and so sys.module_names sounds like "give me the name of all imported modules": sys.module.keys().
Then its a good thing I didn't propose calling it "module_names" :-) -- Steve
