You are right. Unfortunately, A/C would have to follow all imported modules to 
see, which other modules and packages are imported by them and used by which 
name. E.g. os.path is just another name for posixpath or ntpath depending on 
the system. That is too much logic for A/C. However, it is possible, that the 
A/C provided by the rope plugin is more what you are looking for.
