Seriously, what do you mean by that? I imagine ugly things
<wink>.
Btw, Jython 
(as you might now) has deep-auto-importing, that means
import pkg1.pkg2
pkg1.pkg2.f()
in Jython can be written as:
import pkg1
pkg1.pkg2.f()
(yes you should still import the first-level package),
this was intended for Java imports but then
extended to python packages too for symmetry.
OTOH is a great way to write non-portable
(to CPython) jython code <wink>.
