from-import on non-module objects?

[Hamish Lawson]

Have there been thoughts on having from-import used on non-module
objects in order to introduce attributes from a given object into the
current scope? Here's an example of its possible use (not that I
actually want to get round using 'self' in methods - I actually like
its explicitness):

    class AClass:

        def __init__(self, x, y):
            self.x = x
            self.y = y

        def output(self):
            from self import *
            print x, y
