Sure, but not with CVS HEAD:

    % python
    Python 2.5a0 (#75, Mar 15 2005, 21:55:51) 
    [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import example
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (example.py, line 3)

Think of it as __future__-proofing... ;-)
