I too am a pydev user. OK, the auto_completion issues isn't a problem
when using wildcard imports, but this effectively forces us to use
wildcard imports which is ... unpythonic!

e.g. compare

        from OCC import BRepPrimAPI, TDF, STEPControl, gp, TopLoc
        
to

        from OCC.BRepPrimAPI import *
        from OCC.TDF import *
        from OCC.STEPControl import *
        from OCC.gp import *
        from OCC.TopLoc import *
        
The more packages you use, the more cumbersome this becomes.

I'm not proposing to change the name-spaces, but to rename classes to
remove the prefix (on the grounds that it is redundant information,
given that all classes live in their appropriate package name-space). If
I am unable to provide a straightforward patch for this, I'll withdraw
the idea!

Does this mean your against the proposal? I'd appreciate it if you can
give a clear statement of your views (e.g. -1,0,+1 etc.). 


I'll accept the overall consensus. I just want to be sure this topic is
debated now, because as the number of pythonOCC users increases it will
soon become impossible to change.
