Namespaces are only a honking great idea if you actually let them do the job they're designed for. concurrent.* is the namespace, futures is the package within the namespace - concurrent.futures is highly descriptive of the items contained therein.

I was referring to the issue of ThreadPool vs. ThreadPoolExecutor etc. By your own argument above, concurrent.futures.ThreadPool is quite descriptive enough of what it provides. It's not a problem if some other module also provides something called a ThreadPool.
