Would it be an idea to submit a PEP for extending the 'import' keyword?
No. Normally, packages should aim for backwards compatibility, so that
applications would only want to specify a minimum version, such as
import xml
assert xml.version_info > (0,8,2)
If you really want side-by-side installation of different versions,
and a mechanism to select between them, the package could support
import xml_0_8_2 as xml
IOW, "import-as" should be sufficient for what you want to achieve.
