That will work, but it's a bit ugly. Plus, I have to repeat it for
every module with the same problem (of which I have many!).
Nope. Think about it. Only the first import is anything but a dict
lookup.
Even if you know how you want that to work, suppose you use two
different modules in a single program, both of which define a
"builtin" named "somename". Does the first one win? Does the second?
Does the last that actually imported? There is a hack that can let
you change the builtins module, but you don't want to use it: you make
your programs harder to understand.
Accept that you may want a bit of boilerplate if you have a common
base, and start each use with something like:
from base_functions import bibble, babble, bobble, bome
