dllist

[!NOTE] This functionality is available in the standard library starting in Python 3.14

A very small Python library to list the DLLs loaded by the current process. This is equivalent to the dllist function in Julia.

Note: This library is tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Some platforms which provide the same API as Linux (e.g. FreeBSD) also work.

Installation

dllist is available on PyPI:

pip install dllist

Usage

The single function this library provides is dllist(), which returns a list of the shared ibraries loaded by the current process. The first element is usually a representation of the current process itself (often, the empty string), and the rest are the shared libraries loaded by the process.

import dllist
print(dllist.dllist())
# ['', 'linux-vdso.so.1', '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0', '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2', ... ]

Note: The library paths are not postprocessed by this library. Depending on your usage, you may need to convert them to absolute paths and/or perform case-normalization (Windows).
