Hi,

I did not author the python mode, so I don't know much about the 
specifics.  I do know that expanding an import is language specific.  To 
make the python import work, we'd need to create a semantic database for 
an imaginary numpy.py.  semantic/db-javap.el does this for .jar files. 
If there is a rule for creating a list of interfaces in a directory like 
numpy, then creating that database would be a bit more straightforward 
than the java one that extracts symbols from .jar files.

If someone's interested in trying it out can provide some sample files 
with expected results, I could help get you started.
