For those of you not on the patches list, here's the summary of the patch I just uploaded to SF. In short, it adds "import x as y" and "from module import x as y", in the way Tim proposed this morning. (Probably late last night for most of you.)

I guess the criteria i used in my thumbs down on 'indexing' is very subjective, because i would say the added functionality of 'import x as y' does satisfy my added-functionality test, and i'd be +1. (I think the determining thing is the ability to avoid name collisions without any gross shuffle.)

I also really like the non-keyword basis for the, um, keyword.
