PEP 328: Imports: Multi-Line and Absolute/Relative

> If people do not care for> > import -2.MODULE> from -1.MODULE import NAMES as RENAME> > Would it be possible and/or preferrable to have something like this work:> > import relative(2).MODULE> from relative(1).MODULE import NAMES as RENAME

I don't know the Python semantics for mixing statements and expressions 
like that.  Really, relative(<INTEGER>) would end up with the same 
magical internals, except that "relative" would probably need to be a 
builtin (which is generally frowned upon).

Personally, I don't favor using functional notation in order to handle 
module loading.  If we wanted a function-based import, we'd all be using 
__import__().
