Description

Stdlib module sysconfig generates a cache called _sysconfigdata_... with an arch & build flags specific suffix.

This should be recognised as a stdlib package, but the flat file lists currently used dont lend themselves to this dynamic module name very well. Listing all possible suffixes seems like a bad approach.

Research direction

Start by reading the flat file lists and the Python sysconfig behavior that generates _sysconfigdata_... names. Determine how dynamic module names are represented, then update recognition so architecture- and build-specific variants are treated as standard-library modules without enumerating every suffix.
