Definately +1 on that.

While on the subject: will all of 'from module import *' be deprecated, even
at module level ? How should code like Mailman's mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py
construct be rewritten to provide similar functionality ? Much as I dislike
'from module import *', it really does have its uses.
