Python's "only one way to do it" philosophy isn't good?

I don't see why that *shouldn't* work. Or "from macrolib1 import
keyword as foo". And to be truly Pythonic the keywords would have to
be scoped like normal Python variables. One problem is that such a
system wouldn't be able to redefine existing keywords.
Lets wait for a concrete proposal before delving into this rats'
cauldron any further.
