And on a related topic, how can I actually detect other types of imports, for example
__import__

Doing a dump I get this:

In [113]: ast.dump(ast.parse('__import__("module")'))
Out[113]: "Module(body=[Expr(value=Call(func=Name(id='__import__', ctx=Load()), args=[Str(s='module')], keywords=[], starargs=None, kwargs=None))])"

So the visitor should be quite smart, and the string passed can't be always be done. I think the easiest way is just to use regexp and look for them warning the user that there might be other stupid imports, the harder way is to try to detect it and if the string passed is actually known at compile-time
use it, otherwise warn the user.
