Using fully qualified imports is a Python tradition.

Python doesn't have a notion of public/private symbols (no, "__" prefix does absolutely nothing). It also doesn't have a good type system, so it can't have function overloading.

This is why you're required to qualify almost all imports in Python, to avoid name clashes.

Nim doesn't have this problem and also "fixes" a lot of other shortcomings[1] of Python.[2]
