It is not only strongly discouraged, it can wind up causing hair loss in
edge cases. Always do 'import dabo' and then when you want to access
something like dKeys do:
keys = dabo.ui.dKeys
and if the ui hasn't been loaded yet, you'll need to add the
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx") manually first. So, for a simple script it would be:
import dabo
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")
print dabo.ui.dKeys

I'll only add that Dabo has complicated the import of the ui namespace
in this fashion because of the original design goal of supporting more
than one UI toolkit. Originally we weren't going to only support
wxPython, but also PyQt, TkInter, PyGTK, curses, etc. etc. It could
still happen.
