.. function:: find_module(name[, path])
- Try to find the module *name* on the search path *path*. If *path* is a list
- of directory names, each directory is searched for files with any of the
- suffixes returned by :func:`get_suffixes` above. Invalid names in the list
- are silently ignored (but all list items must be strings). If *path* is
- omitted or ``None``, the list of directory names given by ``sys.path`` is
- searched, but first it searches a few special places: it tries to find a
- built-in module with the given name (:const:`C_BUILTIN`), then a frozen
- module (:const:`PY_FROZEN`), and on some systems some other places are looked
- in as well (on Windows, it looks in the registry which may point to a
- specific file).
