The following are very ugly but work: 

   !!echo 'import sys;print sys.path' | python
   !!echo 'import sys;print sys.modules' | python
   !!echo 'import sys;[sys.stdout.write('\''sys.module[\%s]="\%s"\n'\'' \% (i,str(sys.modules[i]))) for i in sys.modules]' | python

You could put such cruft in a shell script and call from vi: 

   !!foo

Of course I doubt that anyone does any of the above.
