Where I do ask for a new feature

[Bongo Ferno via Python-list]

Where I can ask python developers for a new feature?

This feature would allow us to create short aliases for long object paths, 
similar to the with statement. This would make code more readable and 
maintainable.

For example, if we have a long object like 
"MyObject.stuff.longStuff.SubObject", we could create a short alias for it like 
this:


aliasView my_object.stuff.long_stuff.sub_object as short_view
#Now, we can operate with the nested object using the short alias:
print(short_view.some_method())

This is much more concise and readable than having to write out the full object 
path every time.

You can actually just do that with simple assignment!

short_view = my_object.stuff.long_stuff.sub_object
print(short_view.some_method())

It'll work!
