Writing apps without using relative imports

[Randall Smith]

I've noticed the push by Guido and others to use absolute imports 
instead of relative imports.  I've always enjoyed the ease of relative 
imports, but am starting to understand that "explicit is better than 
implicitly" as the Python philosophy goes.  I'm trying to develop a 
strategy for writing packages using only absolute imports and would 
really like to know what others have learned.
