Here's a heretical idea.
I'd like a way to import modules at the point where I need the
functionality, rather than remember to import ahead of time. This might
eliminate a step in my coding process. Currently, my process is I

Let's talk about the problem I really want help with. I brought up a
proposal earlier, but it was only half serious. I realize Python is too
sacred to accept such a heretical change. ;-)
Here's the real problem: maintaining import statements when moving
sizable blocks of code between modules

I just found a 125 character solution. It's actually faster and more
readable than the 133 character solution (though it's still obscure.)
It depends on Python 2.4. If Python 2.3 compatibility is required for
the contest, I have to add 4 characters.
