Not quite true. There is a constant hassle of "do I need to write 
datetime.datetime.now() or datetime.now()?"

I solved this at work by changing all imports to follow the "from datetime 
import datetime" pattern and hard banning the other statically in CI. But 
before that people suffered for years. 

I have a colleague who likes to point that the future is longer than the past. 
It's important to keep that perspective. Also Python is still growing so there 
are more future users than current users. We should take this into account also.
