import os + import os.path both unused generates only a single slightly confusing warning

[Martin Olsson]

Consider this Python code:

import os
import os.path
import re
re.search("a", "abd")

...for this code pyflakes will say:
$ pyflakes .
./aaa.py:2: 'os' imported but unused

Instead of if the above I would like it to say:
$ pyflakes .
./aaa.py:1: 'os' imported but unused
./aaa.py:2: 'os.path' imported but unused

Bug found in 0.5.0-1ubuntu1

fwiw, as of v1.2.0, the error message is less confusing as the name in the error message now matches what appears on the line of the source code:

./aaa.py:2: 'os.path' imported but unused

This was done with

https://github.com/pyflakes/pyflakes/commit/aec68a7847d8dbd1371242f42f9302103a68178f

It had a few bugs (lp:1560134 and lp:1578051), which have fixes yet to be released.

It still does not detect that both are unused, which turns out to be a spectacularly difficult problem to solve in pyflakes, but we're getting closer.

Whoops, I set this to fix released, when it isnt. It should go back to New.
