I find explicit relative imports easier to read, as it reduces the noise level.

I like the fact that local imports look different from non-local ones.

Yes, +1. The most important thing IMO is that there be an explicit way to spell whatever the default isn't. I was just grumbling the other day because I had to rename a submodule foologging.py instead of the more natural logging.py because that module suddenly wanted to start importing the global logging package.
