The detect_modules() method of setup.py became longer and longer over the years. It is now 1128 lines long. It's way too long: it becomes very hard to track the lifetime of a variable and many variables are overriden on purpose or not. Shorter functions help to track the lifetime of variables, ease review and reduce the number of bugs.
