At first glance it looked easy enough, by just filtering out
everything that isn't in site-packages, but that isn't quite accurate
as accurate as pylint and it also shows indirect dependencies too.
e.g. pkga imports pkgb, which imports pkgc. I don't want pkgc.

To clarify, if I had a module with:

import os,sys, re
import sqlobject

I only want to know about sqlobject. I don't want any of sqlobject's
dependencies, such as MySQLdb, pysqlite2, psycopg2 etc. which
modulefinder shows also.

And as far as I can tell, modulefinder needs a Python script, but its
much easier for me to find a package's modules automatically.
