I have a fairly large library of Python code, where 'from package import *' is

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.
I don't know of any automatic tools. I usually comment out those import
statements and use pyflakes to show me the undefined names.
