This is an interesting idea for Idle. Idle currently completes names 
from builtins and, in interactive mode, the current globals. So in the 
situation above, Idle offers 'map' and 'max' in a listbox with all 
builtins (and globals). But after '.', it completes attribute names 
instead and within strings, filenames, starting from the current 
directory of the user process for relative names.

It should not be too hard to recognize 'import' and 'from' instead of or 
in addition to '.' as context markers.  Even just offering stdlib name 
(or current directory names or . imports) would be a help.  Builtin 
names can never be correct in this context.
