[Python-Dev] Allowing import star with namespaces

[Brendan Moloney]

We all know that doing:

> from pkg import *

is bad because it obliterates the 'pkg' namespace. So why not allow something like:

> import pkg.*

This would still be helpful for interactive sessions while keeping namespaces around.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, my searching didn't find anything relevant in the archives.

Thanks,
Brendan
