I have to add 'import configparser' at the top of each of these

This seems verbose. If it is the correct way of doing it I can live
with it, but I wondered if there was an easier way.
Think of import as meaning "make this available in my current (module)
namespace".
The actual import machinery only runs the first time, that is, if it's
not already present in the sys.modules dict.
There's also the approach of importing the typing objects conditionally,
as in this snippet from the Leo Editor
(https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor)
if TYPE_CHECKING: # pragma: no cover
from leo.core.leoCommands import Commands as Cmdr
from leo.core.leoGui import LeoKeyEvent as Event
Yes, it's more verbose but it makes clear what the intent is.
