It looks like there is a bunch of legacy relative import cruft kicking around in Python 3.  The first thing I noticed is that __import__.__doc__ claims that level=-1 is the default (i.e. use the Python 2 behavior).  A little testing shows that the docs don't lie and __import__ in Python 3 defaults trying a relative import first.

What is the status of implicit relative imports in Python 3?  Can the level=-1 code be removed?
