Efficiency

This command does not identify 100% of the possible local absolute imports. However, at its current state, it manages to identify all but a single import statement in a real package containing more than 200 python files (some with several local imports).

Future improvements should increase its efficiency even more. At its current state though, it can already reduce substantialy the time needed to convert local absolute imports from a Python package into local relative imports. Additionally, because the conversion happens programmatically, it is less error-prone than making the changes by hand.
