New splat import proposal

[nosam1998]

Proposal:

# main.py
import utils.* import ClassFromA, ClassFromB, func_from_moreutils

Given the following directory/file structure:

• utils/
  • A.py
  • B.py
  • moreutils.py
• main.py

Assuming A, B, and moreutils all have multiple functions/classes in them, I want to be able to do import utils.* import ClassFromA, ClassFromB, func_from_moreutils.

Normally this would look like from utils.A import ClassFromA then from utils.B import ClassFromB finally from utils.moreutils import func_from_moreutils.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

As mentioned in the issue template, please open a discussion on Discourse first. I will give you fair warning that this proposal is not likely to succeed, but Discourse is the place to find out.
