Art, this is indeed a very smart example. 

You are obviously way more intelligent than the average student whom we need to 
teach. Our job is to teach Python programming to anyone who may happen to be in 
our classes. What is good for you may not be good for ordinary beginners. 
Ordinary mortals usually do not find the meaning of life in the beausty of 
import statements :-)

May be there are, or may be they are not.
