Summary: automatic imports

Initial Comment:
I don't need to declare a variable but I need to declare a module, i.e import module, can this be done automatically?, so time.strftime requires import time automatically in the spirit of the python language, it saves typing and synchronization of the imports with the changes of the source code

I don't think this is a very good idea, if you'll be using the module name
all the time, then you might as well simple import it. Besides, I think it
could lead to confusion. You may have an object named fo in your script and
if you mistakenly type foo a module will get imported and you won't
understand anything. Specially if the module is something you don't even
know about in your PYTHONPATH.
