This is subjective enough that I would think some rationale explaining this
convention should be given. Personally, I group imports into three sections
as follows:
* Python core modules/packages
* Third-party modules/packages
* Local modules/packages
I can't explain why I do it that way. I guess it just satisfies some inner
hobgoblin.
