By adding an entry to ffap-alist, you can implement the behavior I
describe.  ffap.el does not currently support Python.

But by adding an entry into ffap-alist, you can NOT implement the
behavior that you were asking for: being able to enter a module name
in the minibuffer and have Emacs open the right *.py file.

Hm.  I think it should be possible to also get the behavior you want,
with just a little Lisp hacking.
