<h2>find_module</h2>
<b>find_module</b>(<i>name, path, isPyFile=False</i>)

<p>
    Function to extend the Python module finding mechanism.
</p>
<p>
    This function searches for files in the given list of paths. If the
    file name doesn't have an extension or an extension of .py, the normal
    Python search implemented in the imp module is used. For all other
    supported files only the paths list is searched.
</p>
<dl>

<dt><i>name</i> (str)</dt>
<dd>
file name or module name to search for
</dd>
<dt><i>path</i> (list of str)</dt>
<dd>
search paths
</dd>
<dt><i>isPyFile</i> (bool)</dt>
<dd>
flag indicating a Python file
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>Return:</dt>
<dd>
tuple of the open file, pathname and description. Description
        is a tuple of file suffix, file mode and file type)

    modules, etc. .
</p>
<p>
    The real work of parsing the source file is delegated to the individual
    file parsers.
