Simple Django/python utility to check all the import statements in your project

As I mentioned in my previous posting, I was stuck with Flup exceptions and I am trying to implement what Maxx had suggested. But one interesting thing I did, just before MAXX suggested, to check all the import statements in my entire project codebase. Ofcourse this is not a Django level thing, but at the python level. I started writing one and made that a Django command extension, run as python manage.py imports_checker. It helped me in identifying many faulty imports which could be coined as one of the culprits for the "flup's dreaded exception". The code is mentioned below:

class Command(NoArgsCommand):
    option_list = NoArgsCommand.option_list
    help = "Scans through the entire project directory and collects all the stale/obsolete import statements"
    requires_model_validation = True

def import_statement_extractor(self,directory_path,python_file):
    python_file = '%s/%s' % (directory_path,python_file)
    file_content = open(python_file).readlines()
    for line in file_content:
        line = line.strip()
        if line.startswith('from') or line.startswith('import'):
            try:
                exec(line)
#                    print '%s:==>:%s:Pass' % (python_file,line)
            except ImportError:
                print '%s:XXX:%s:Fail' % (python_file,line)

def directory_py_files(self,parent_directory):
   import os
   directory_generator = os.walk(parent_directory)
   directory_info = directory_generator.next()
   for file in directory_info[2]:
       if file.endswith('py'):
          self.import_statement_extractor(directory_info[0],file)
   for directory in directory_info[1]:
       if not directory.startswith('.'):
          print '\n'
          self.directory_py_files('%s/%s' % (parent_directory,directory))
   
def handle_noargs(self, **options):
    from django.conf import settings
    self.directory_py_files(settings.ROOT_PATH)

This is a generic command, it does not check the settings.INSTALLED_APPS setting for cleaning up imports but it does a decent job of identifying all stale or obsolete imports.
