automatic from module import * expansion

Does anybody know of a tool that will take a module as input, look for
any wildcard imports, and then identify what symbols in the module come
from which wildcard import? It could then expand out the from module
import * to from module import foo, bar. It might need to ask the user
on this, since they might want the wildcard import for something
special, but it would still be *much* nicer then expanding the imports
out by hand.

Apologies ahead of time if I've missed something obvious. I did spend
some quality time with google, and couldn't find anything.
cheers,

No - and given that you could do

--- module.py ---
import random

for i in xrange(random.r andint(10, 100)):
globals()["FOO%i" % i] = "hallo"

--- module.py ---

there is not a chance of such a tool being more than a heuristic. Such
things only work in a static typed world where you know the number of
declarations.

Sorry but I doesn't understand your need. If you need a ''dinamic''
import, you can use __import__(modu le)

That's what the Python style guides advise. They don't seem to like def frob(x): import re if re.search('sdfxyz', x): ... instead preferring that you pollute your module's global namespace with the names of all your imports. What's the point of that? It gets worse when you want to do something like

hello again. i'm now into using python instead of another language(s) for describing structures of data, including names, structure, type-checks, conversions, value-validations, metadata etc. And i have things to offer, and to request.

I've been trying to use "happydoc" to document a source tree that I'm working on. It does pretty much what I want, except: Version 2.1: Creates a weird directory structure for the HTML pages it generates -- they embed the full path to the working copy of the sources, which, beyond just being ugly, would be pretty annoying for a collaborative project (each collaborator's copy would produce documentation

Hi, I wrote the 'autoimp' module , which allows you to import lazy modules: from autoimp import * (Import lazy wrapper objects around all modules; "lazy modules" will turn into normal modules when an attribute is first accessed with getattr()). from autoimp import A, B (Import specific lazy module wrapper objects). The main point of autoimp is to make usage of the interactive Python prompt
