To sort out which imported modules are supplied by Python, by you, and
by 3rd parties it would help a lot if you knew where the modules are
being loaded from.

Put this code at the end of your script:
    import sys
    info = [(module.__file__, name)
        for (name, module) in sys.modules.iteritems()
        if hasattr(module, '__file__')]
    info.sort()
    import pprint
    pprint.pprint(info)

AFAIK unless someone has been messing with sys.modules, this gives you
all modules that have been imported during the running of your script,
except for built-ins (no __file__ attribute). Warning: I've not tried
this with eggs and zips.

HTH,
