OK, just to make sure I understand this.  You are saying that
a ".." operation is needed in imports so that a package author
with a package which looks like this:
  mypackage
  mypackage/sub1/mod1.py
  mypackage/sub2/mod2.py

can write "import __.sub2.mod2" instead of "import mypackage.sub2.mod2"
within the file mod1.py.  Right?
