In 3.1 and earlier, GDAL had short helper scripts to allow the deprecated
imports, named “gdal.py”, “osr.py”, and “ogr.py”, with contents like:
```
# import osgeo.gdal as a convenience
from osgeo.gdal import deprecation_warn
deprecation_warn('gdal')
from osgeo.gdal import *
```
You could create such very short modules on your local machine (presumably not
bothering to include the deprecation warning!). Using PYTHONPATH to point to a
directory with them in is probably the simplest way.
The source for the Python wrappers in GDAL 3.1 can be found at:
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/tree/release/3.1/gdal/swig/python
(Alternatively, I’d argue it wouldn’t be too hard to do some global search and
replace for “import gdal”->”from osgeo import gdal”, using your IDE or some
command line tools, but I presume you’re not tempted by that idea!)

Subject: [gdal-dev] "New" style import
Hi,
I've recently updated GDAL to 3.2.1. I mostly use it from Python, and have
oodles of scripts from the past that use "import gdal" somewhere. With the
newer versions of GDAL, this is deprecated and is now "from osgeo import gdal".
Is there some hacky workaround/sacrifice to the technical debt gods to carry on
using "import gdal" for legacy codes?
Thanks!
Jose
