That's why I left it out of this proposal. Even if it is shot down again, it still deserves to be documented together with the reasons for being shot down. This is a one-in-a-lifetime chance, so it would be sad if it were not taken into account. The extra effort would be minimal - the renaming would have to be done using a script anyway and adding an extra 'from py import ' prefix to the modules wouldn't really make the renaming more complicated ;-)
I was about to start writing an open issue on this since the biggest objection from Guido I could find on this topic is http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-July/026409.html , but then it started to feel like a separate PEP to me. So I think I am going to pass on taking on this topic and let someone else tackle it in a PEP. Sorry, MAL, but I need to worry about my sanity on this one. =) -Brett
