On reflection that probably seems like what I should have written in
the first place!

Python 3 uses absolute imports with the . and .. exceptions. The
absolute_import __future__ makes Python 2 behave the same to give
consistency. Of course this only works if the parent package is
imported. In this context that will always be the case, so it should be
fine.

I can definitely live with this as an idiom.

I am now just embarrassed to have found this problem. :-)
