That's neat, but I think it's worse in both brevity and clarity
than

    import tkinter
    import httplib, urllib

or even (though here things would change as the number of
imported libraries in each category tends to infinity, which
in practice it probably doesn't) than

    import gui.tkinter
    import net.httplib
    import net.urllib
