    def strip_python_loads
      @file_lines.map! do |line|
        line =3D '' if line.match(/\s*from[ A-Za-z0-9\_.]*import\s*\w*/])
        line
      end
    end

Warning: I have not tested this code.  I may have made a boneheaded
error.  There may also be a better way to do this that would have
occurred to me if I was not multitasking.
