Python auto-import extension for VSCode

Is there a Python auto-import extension/plugin available for VSCode?

By auto-import I mean automatically importing of Python modules, so if you type sys.argv then it should automatically import the sys module. Eclipse and IntelliJ have this feature with Java.
