Is there a straightforward way to find all the modules that are part of a python package? I've found this old discussion, which is not really conclusive, but I'd love to have a definite answer before I roll out my own solution based on os.listdir().

I was looking for a way to reload all submodules that I'm editing live in my package. It is a combination of the answers/comments above, so I've decided to post it here as an answer rather than a comment.

package=yourPackageName
import importlib
import pkgutil
for importer, modname, ispkg in pkgutil.walk_packages(path=package.__path__, prefix=package.__name__+'.', onerror=lambda x: None):
    try:
        modulesource = importlib.import_module(modname)
        reload(modulesource)
        print("reloaded: {}".format(modname))
    except Exception as e:
        print('Could not load {} {}'.format(modname, e))
