Hey all

I know that the feature I am about to suggest may be minor and may have a very low priority considering other issues to be discussed, however I'll suggest it anyways..

Being a very frequent user of the interactive shell, I find it annoying when I try to use a function or a class that resides in another module that I haven't imported... So why not let the interactive shell say a message about the appropriate module to be imported for this class/function.. The idea is similar to bash on Ubuntu, if you don't have the necessary package it lets you know by suggesting the package name to be installed.

Let me know what you think.

I think the best way to add this is to add it to the help function, which is the console interface to pydoc. Something like help(find="name") could find all instances of name in all available modules.
