For what it is worth, best practice among Python programmers that I  
know is to avoid the use of import wildcards.  The motivation is not  
capability security (obviously), but it is auditability -- if there  
are no important wildcards, then one can always find the definition  
of a Python name by searching backwards in text in that file.
