Comment (by vbraun):

 Note that module imports can not be shadowed by variables:
 {{{
 $ sage -python
 >>> sage = 1
 >>> from sage.all import sin
 >>> type(sin)
 <class 'sage.functions.trig.Function_sin'>
 }}}
 So its perfectly fine to have an object bound to a variable named `codes`
 but its bad to have a module `codes` (without namespace), and it would be
 a terrible design pattern to litter the module names space with all kinds
 of object catalogs.

 Just make your own `sage.coding.codes` module from which to import your
 selection of codes.
