In a language without declarations, how do you know that something is

Personally, I don't mind if I have to *tell* it what I'm
using. I don't insist on the stripping-out being automatic,
and I would actually prefer it not to be.
To support that, I want a system that lets me specify exactly
what I'm using, during development *and* packaging, both working
off the same information. That way I can be sure that if it
runs for me, it will also run for my users.
# Module eggs
from spam import bunchofstuff
re = bunchofstuff['re']
I trust you're not going to say that if you write obfuscated code like
that, you deserve whatever pain you get :-)
With the scheme described above, I'll find out during testing
if I've forgotten to add re as a dependency. And if I don't,
then it's my fault for not testing thoroughly enough.
