[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] More Package concerns

[Jim Hugunin]

I'm having some serious last minute thoughts about using packages in NumPy.
 They basically come down to the mysterious "import ni" that must come at
the top of every file that uses them.  This seems like a great hack to play
around with the idea of packages, but it's an awfully confusing convention
to have to explain to all of the potentially naive users I expect for this
system.

How do people feel about having all of their files begin with:

import ni
import Numeric
...

Also, specifically to Guido, is the package feature something that you
expect to have built in to python in the future?  Can I expect the import
ni to go away any time soon?
