No.

See the usage section of my Pippy design document from earlier this
year:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Quozl

The usage you have asked about, "allow projects made on several files",
is covered by the following usage patterns:

"write a fresh module that imports an included example module unchanged,
deriving behaviour from existing behaviour,"

"write a fresh module that imports a modified example module," and

"write two fresh modules one of which imports the other,"

Usage patterns marked "(new)" are not yet implemented.

I do not recommend the current version of Pippy for serious activity
development.  It is best used only as an introduction to single-module
programming.

For the Pippy module, used by "import pippy", the documentation is
embedded in the Python code, read the files in library/pippy ... and if
you find you don't understand something, please ask.

For any other module, used by "import", the documentation will depend on
the module.  Be more specific.
