"has imported" != "needed to import" ... I've see a module that
imported Tkinter and never used it.

BTW, what gives you the surety that third-party modules can only be
imported from a path that includes "site packages"? What gives you the
surety that you need to import all modules whose path does not include
"site-packages"? Perhaps you should scrutinise *all* of the loaded-
from-file entries in sys.modules.
