Yes, and now I realize how I would have got into the stupid assumption that
imports were never executed in a class' __init__() was because:

* I defined an import within a class' __init__()
* It used to get executed.
* Then I used to make an assumption that calling it from one of the methods
would work. But instead the module was never in the Namespace. And that led
me to the mis-understanding that the import never got executed. What a fool
am I.


I think people gave a good reason when they mentioned about top-level
imports. I would move ahead with keeping things simple.

Thanks to all for your time and patience on this thread (At least, no one is
yelling at me ;-)
