So in this lesson, let's have a look at how we can use this SYS module to view all of the available built-in modules, as well as import more modules beyond the default available modules.

This is imported by default in the latest version of Dynamo. Otherwise, you would need to add this line in manually. To start, let's use SYS to view all of the available modules, which we can do through a particular property. So let's assign to the variable OUT sys.builtin_module_ names and…
