Of course, recommended procedure is to avoid using ' from module import *
' on anything other than stable modules that are designed for this usage
(e.g., Tkinter, wxPython, etc...)  If you're making frequent changes to a
module, it's probably safer to use the standard import module and
module.attr syntax.  Among other things, this makes it much easier to
reload your changes.  :)
