Here's an improvement of above which simplifies simple import statements 
and includes filename for indented ones which are potentially trickier 
(it might be try-encapsulated statements that should then lead to 
recommends or suggests rather than hard depends):

find * -name "*.py" -exec grep -H '\bimport\b' {} \; | perl -pe 's/^[^:]+:(?:from\s+(\S+)|import\s+(\S+)).*/$1/; s/^(?=[^:]+:)/A /' | sort -u


I still need to reinvent the parts scanning for external binaries 
executed from inside Python code.

Help appreciated!

Please do elaborate.
