Generally, there's a move away from all "import *" versions these days. 
For example, Python 3.0 removes the ability to use "import *" within a 
function:

     http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3100/

I suspect the "import *" version is not enabled for relative imports 
because most of python-dev is against "import *" forms anywhere.
