Pure cosmetic changes to satisfy some aesthetic preferences are not accepted. Every changes has its cost (it consumes the time of core developers to review, has maintenance cost, and disturbs the history of the files) and should be made only if it has a clear benefit.

Using star-import is not forbidden, otherwise such syntax would not be supported. ctypes may be one of modules for which using it is well justified: it contains a lot of names, and most of names have unique prefix ("c_") to avoid conflicts with builtins. Especially in tests.
