[issue42955] Add sys.module_names: list of stdlib module names (Python and extension modules)

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

I wrote PR 24238 which implements an hardcoded list of stdlib module names. The PR uses the CI to ensure that the list always remain up to date. If tomorrow a new module is added, a CI job fails ("file not up to date").

> What if set __author__ = 'PSF' in every stdib module? Or other attributes which would allow to group modules by origin. Perhaps other authors would use that feature too.

Hum, that would go against my bpo-42923 use case.

Also for bpo-42923, I would prefer a tuple of strings ;-)
