Nope. Absolute imports are the most common form, and we do want to encourage absolute imports whenever possible (because of the conflicts with the stdlib). Relative imports should be "marked".
Wow. This seems amazingly user-hostile. Users (not Python developers) download some two or three year old code to do something from an online library, like the Vaults of Parnassus, and it just breaks because the meaning of "import" has changed. I hope we aren't developing the kind of attitude towards non-developer users that made lispers call them "lusers".
