No such thing exists currently. Even worse, it can happen that in certain
modules, some methods are missing on certain platforms.

I experienced this in the socket module, where the poll() stuff isn't available
on Windows (and maybe even not on on all Posix OS).

Btw. you could add this as a feature request for PyChecker on its Sourceforge
page.
