I think this syntax was originally proposed here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-December/041072.html

which mentions that since "a, b = c" is already equivalent to "(a, b) = c", so
"
in mind, I'd hand out the following scores (0=don't really care):

>   import (os, sys)

+0

+1

+0

-0

-0

>   import (os), (sys)

-1

>   import (os,)

-1
