Description Todd 2013-03-17 11:39:40 UTC 
Currently, when kdev-python cannot find an import, it is labeled as a problem.  This makes sense, since it is a problem.  

However, it also makes it so that all uses of that import are labeled as "Undefined variable".  This is a redundant message, it provides no additional information to the user.  It only serves to fill up the problems list and makes it harder to find the root cause of the problem.  

Further, with all the false positives for incorrect imports, it can lead to a large number of false problems, making it harder to notice real problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Add these lines:

import spammerspam
eggs = 1
a = spammerspam(eggs)
Actual Results:  
Module spammerspam not found
Undefined variable spammerspam

Expected Results:  
Module spammerspam not found
