🔪 Sharp edges 🔪:

If the missing python package contains a requirement that is not listed in its own requirements.txt and is being used your file will fail anyway.
If you import superimport twice in the same process (a common usecase is ipython kernels), the second time will not work because of the way python loads modules , you would need a something like deimport to deimport the package before being able to import superimport to the desired effect again.
If you run superimport in ipython, please use deimport to deimport superimport and use %run -n if you use %run
