My own gut feeling is that it's not important to allow parentheses on "bare" (from-less) imports, since you can easily repeat the 'import' keyword on a new line;

It might not be strictly necessary, but for consistency I think it should be alllowed.

By the way, rather than parentheses, I would prefer to be able to simply end the line with a comma and continue on to the next line:

from Bubble import foo, spam, tomato, grail, arthur, camembert
