Pipreqs does not pick up on google-cloud-translate

Pipreqs does not seem to be able to infer the google-cloud-translate package from the import that is suggested in the package instructions (from google.cloud import translate).

Operating system and version

WSL 1.0 running Ubuntu on Windows 10 Python 3.6.9

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new python file

2. Import google translate via:

from google.cloud import translate

1. run pipreqs
2. The package will not be found in the requirements.txt

For me all imports from google.* are not recognized.

Yes I confirm that every package with ‘.’ in the name is not discovered. For example it is the case for the opentelemetry SDK as well. Reading rapidly the code, I found maybe some lines to change to fix that. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to check and propose a Pull Request … I put here the result of my investigation if someone is interested.

• Changing this line to create one raw_import by name being with value “{{module}}.{{name}}” https://github.com/bndr/pipreqs/blob/v0.4.11/pipreqs/pipreqs.py#L123
• Removing this guard here https://github.com/bndr/pipreqs/blob/v0.4.11/pipreqs/pipreqs.py#L140.
• As the guard is removed, I assume the code should check all the different combinations there https://github.com/bndr/pipreqs/blob/v0.4.11/pipreqs/pipreqs.py#L177 I assume here that doing a search from the bottom (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, aaa.bbb.ccc, …) would hopefully find less issues than doing the search from the top (aaa, aaa.bbb, …) that would lead to the protobuf issue for google libraries users.
