The module I am compiling is kind of a scrapbook of snippets for my own

copying the relevant functions into a new module when needed. I'm
thinking having the imports inline might make that process easier when I
do need to do it and once copied I can always move them out of the
functions declarations.

This is something of a special case, so I don't think the usual style guides entirely apply. What I would do is keep the imports outside of the functions, but put them before the functions that use them.

Actually, I lie. What I really do is keep a Mercurial repository of all of the snippets I use in separate files.
