This is an interesting case:
>>> import (os, sys)
File "<stdin>", line 1
import (os, sys)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> from os import (listdir, chdir)
>>> listdir, chdir
(<built-in function listdir>, <built-in function chdir>)
>>>
Of course the reasons the second syntax was eventually added to the
language don't apply in the first case, but this does look a bit
inconsistent...
