I have a fairly large library of Python code, where 'from package import *' is used rather liberally, and it's not uncommon for more than one of these to appear in any given module. What I'd like to be able to do is to clean my code up a bit and turn each of the 'from package import *' statements into 'from package import thing_1, thing_2, ..., thing_n', where only thing_i's that are actually _used_ in the module are imported. In this way I hope to make my code a bit more understandable by future civilizations. :) (it needs all the help it can get!)
Does anyone know of a package/recipe/whatever that does something like this automatically, even in limited cases? Ideally it should be accomplished only by looking at the source, or at most, importing the module. TIA, -Pat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
