[Python-ideas] Importing public symbols and simultainiously privatizing them, is too noisy

[Rick Johnson]

Has anyone else found this to be too syntactically noisy?

  from module import Foo as _Foo, bar as _bar

That is horrifically noisy IMO. The problem is, how do we
remove the noise without sacrificing intuitiveness? My first
idea was to do this:

  from module import_private Foo, bar

And while it's self explanatory, it's also too long. So i
thought...

  from module _import Foo, bar

I'm leaning more towards the latter, but i'm not loving it
either. Any ideas?
