Are there any macros, functions, or any ways to show the list of packages imported by “using”? I cannot find a relevant function/macro at [https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/stdlib/pkg/](https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/stdlib/pkg/).

`filter(name-> eval(name) isa Module, names(Main))` gets a list of available module names

This is helpful, but slightly different from what I want. Suppose I have a module named `MyModule`, in which `ModuleA` is imported by `using ModuleA`. Now, if I do `using MyModule` in `Main`, your method shows not only `MyModule` but also `ModuleA`, whose symbols are not exported in `Main`.

Yeah to be honest I don’t know about this one. I’ve been messing around with the code but I can’t find a way to exclude nested modules. what exactly is your use case?

I just wanted to check if the module meant to be imported by some script was imported correctly. After running the script, I wanted to check if the module was indeed imported.
