@Videoc I don't think this would be a good idea, seeing as certain packages have similar names, also, it would ruin syntax of certain languages.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you please link your repl?

@mat1 He's trying to say as in if you were to import random for example:


import random
t=random.randint(1,100)

print t

But then instead you would be able to write that code without import shown below.


t=random.randint(1,100)

print t

However, this goes against the syntax of python(and other languages), so therefore it would not work.
