pychecker does "see" all code at the module level, but it isn't perfect. If there is code like:

import sys
if sys.platform == 'win32':
    def x(a, b): pass
else:
    def x(a): pass

The following incorrect warning is produced: t2.py:5: Redefining attribute (x) original line (3)

Because both versions of the function x() are seen.
