Hi, i just released apipkg-1.0, an around 100 LOC module for easy importing of export-controled namespaces. So far, it's successfully used in tox, pylib and a few other projects.
With apipkg you can control the exported namespace of a Python package and greatly reduce the number of imports for your users. It is a `small pure python module`_ that works on virtually all Python versions, including CPython2.3 to Python3.1, Jython and PyPy. It co-operates well with Python's ``help()`` system, custom importers (PEP302) and common command line completion tools.
