from Module import Data

There, you saved three more characters .

You can modify the builtin namespace:

$ cat module.py
print data
$ cat main.py
import __builtin__
__builtin__.data = 42

import module
$ python main.py
42
$

But I don't think it's a good idea. Remember that "explicit is better than 
implicit".
