Nah. But I liked the suggestion seen here earlier of allowing parenthesis:

from OPAL.Modules.Financial.Reports.COGS import (generate, webOptions, normalize, rowops, summary)

So do I. Something I'm still acutely aware of despite not using Emacs for years is how much trouble it would be to teach python-mode.el about a unique new way to continue a statement. Parens would "just work". Ditto for IDLE, and tokenize.py, etc etc etc etc. I bet tools parsing import statements for content (like pychecker, and perhaps pyclbr.py -- the others mentioned are just looking at form) would need modification regardless, though.
