Here is the bare minimum that uses the keyword 'in' instead of 'from'.
The changes are confined to lparser.c
http://lua-users.org/files/wiki_insecure/power_patches/5.1-alpha/basic-from.patch
I really like Python, but I find its import syntax odd. I would
prefer it to read
import x,y,z from some_package
But then that is ambiguous with the simpler
import some_package
So they ended up with something rather odd.
Also, this patch isn't just for importing variable from modules. It's
a general enhancement to the assignment statement for unpacking named
values from tables.
