..and some further improvements:

   * check all files (to include Python and Python-in-shell scripts)
   * fix regex to not ignore simple "import foo" strings
   * include and split comma-separated lists of imports

find * -type f -exec grep -H '\bimport\b' {} \; | perl -pe 's/^[^:]+:(?:from\s+(\S+)|import\s+(\S+((?<=,)\s\S+)*+))\b.*/$1$2/ and s/(\S+),\s+/$1\n/g; s/^(?=[^:]+:)/A /' | sort -u


Below points still stand:
