It would be really cool if this worked:

import time now = property(lambda m: time.time()) Obviously a silly example but I hope the idea is clear. Is there a reason this couldn't be made to work?

I don't know, but if you create time.now, then will both of these work? print time.now

from time import now
print now

If not, it would be quite counterintuitive.
