The issue with these isn't the syntax. It's the features that are implied which don't work, can't work, or shouldn't be controlled at the site of the import.

Well, it _is_ radically different for a few reasons. Also, anything "extensible" like that has to justify the extendibility, the added complexity and ambiguity. What else is going to need it? Why should those things happen at the site (s) of the import, rather than the module itself?

That would be a radically different approach to importing in general, and quite a large amount of scope creep. So, no, it was not considered.

While interviewing at Meta and NVIDIA I wore Microsoft/PyCon US golf shirts that were handed out many years ago, because they're _incredibly_ comfortable and durable, especially in the weather we were having... They only have a small MS logo but BOY did it confuse anyone I talked to 😂

I had indeed forgotten this! I think it's because when we talk you always just seem like a regular, normal person 😁

Are you sure? Because in my experience most of the core dev sprint is spent talking and debating and talking and brainstorming and talking and discussing 😅

Don't dance around it, don't make jokes about it, don't hedge as if it's merely suggestive of the possibility or we need more evidence to confirm.
This is a literal signed confession that the president is a pedophile. He is guilty of that most monstrous of crimes. Say it plainly and directly.

The Board can do with experience, or with new blood. So many great candidates! Make your own choice!
Except DO NOT vote for Franz Király. Even ignoring his bad faith arguing and bad ideas, he's clearly not a team player and does not act in the Python community's best interests.
