That's fine with me.  Maybe continue to use "absolute" and "relative" (and
throw in "package" somewhere) instead of "global" and "local" when referring
to package import semantics?  "global" and "local" have a well-established
meaning in day-to-day Python programming which doesn't overlap much with the
import mechanism.
