On the other hand, if you just want to see which submodules are

for import, you can write `import skimage.<tab>` (note the dot before

Besides, Tony is busy updating all the module level docstrings, so that "skimage?" should soon deliver useful results :)

Wait a minute... Let me quote what I wrote in the original email: "One thing I'd like to see is a package docstring listing all subpackages..."

Note: I didn't say that I would implement it ;)
