The real question, I suppose, is "what is a good technique to find
what
modules and classes implement or refer to particular names"
I think your best bet is still to import the module and introspect it. It will execute some code, but (by convention) simply importing a module doesn't usually unleash any spectacular computation. Scripts meant to be executed from the command line will almost always have an (if __name__ == '__main__' ) clause to prevent just this.
Well, I sorta ran into that trouble testing some testfiles of mine...little scripts for testing specific things that did'nt follow convension in that manner
Thanks
