[Python-Dev] PEP 328 -- relative and multi-line import (original) (raw)

Is anyone championing PEP 328? This is planned for inclusion in 2.4, but not much movement has happened. If it's stuck on the decision whether to use multiple dots (one per level up) or a single dot (to indicate searching upwards until found), I'm willing to pronounce that it should be multiple dots.

At least "from . import X" and "from .. import X" are completely clear and more levels up are not likely to occur in practice...
