Why not just put a section in both places that says "can't be bothered to spell this out right now" and put a URL in referring to this thread on Google ... that appears to have been the traditional approach to import semantics :)
Well, first we point to Guido's original package essay, then to PEP 302, then to PEP 338, then to PEP 366... and then we count the number of people that slogged through all that without needing to take our shoes off :) On a more helpful note, Brett, you may find the write-up I did of the import system a year or two ago helpful: http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/userref/ODF/Chapter07_ModulesAndApp...
