While browsing through the source code, I've seen lots of relative
imports, which is discouraged in the PEP 8 style guide.
- Relative imports for intra-package imports are highly
discouraged.
Always use the absolute package path for all imports.
(However, once PEP 328 [7] is fully implemented, its style of
explicit relative imports will be recommended.)
I think that Python 2.5 will issue deprication warnings, so it would be
a good idea to use absolute paths or do the from __future__ import
absolute_import thing. I know this could be a problem with Python 2.3,
but worth considering.
