using abbreviations just for the sake of it may be a bad idea, but using
it to able to quickly switch between different drivers works really well.
my code is full of stuff like:
import sqlite2 as DB
import wckTkinter as WCK
# import cElementtree as ET
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
but you sure won't see
import sys as SY
import os.path as op
or other gratuitous aliasing.
