Here's a crazy thought that might be best dismissed out of hand: what about extending 'from name import other_names' to accept any object for <name>? First try to get values via __getitem__() (possibly only for dict/dict subclasses?), next try getattr(), finally try to import the module and pull values from it as per usual.
Pros: - solves dict unpacking
Would it solve nested dict unpacking?
How do you mean? Replacing `some_name = some_dict['some_key']['some_name']` with `from some_dict['some_key'] import some_name`? Sure, why not? :) -- Zach
