Of course, you can use the existing mechanism to do this: 'from
package1 import os'. The use of an explicit name seems like the
clearest route when you have a package-local module that shadows a
top-level module -- no need to understand details of relative imports,
no question about what is intended by the code.
I haven't followed this thread closely. Is there some reason that
explicit names in imports is not sufficient?
