[Zope3-Users] Utility for removing unneeded import statements

[Hermann Himmelbauer]

Hi,
During development and especially refactoring, I'm often confronted with 
cleaning up import statements.

Missing imports are reported by Python, however, unneeded imports are not. I 
don't know if unneded imports are a performance issue, nevertheless it 
probably makes sense to clean them up from time to time.

Therefore I wonder if there's some tool that can automatically check if an 
import is needed or not. Probably this is easy to write, but perhaps somebody 
has already done so?

What would be nice, would also be a tool that crawls through a python package 
and also checks any missing imports and reports all of them at once. When I 
refactor code, I often have to restart zope3 over and over, only due to 
missing import statements.

Best Regards,
Hermann
