But I don't think that changing the "from M import v" semantics so that local assignment to v changes the binding of M.v as well is defensible.
I agree, however, I think that having: from M import v causing a name binding that is broken by local assigment to v *is* defensible and reasonably implementable. Changes to 'v' in M (including by reload of M) would be reflected locally unless someone did: v=something locally. Local assignment would negate an import, as it does now.
