There sure is:
./resources/__init__.py is:
__all__ = ['simple', 'other']

I did look at sys.modules but I wasn't sure what to look for. There was
a log module in the list but what else should I look for?

Since the ./resources/__init__.py does not actually import any of the
modules below it, this trick won't work but just for an experiment,
I'll change the code and try it.
