In that particular case, I wouldn't, except possibly as an
implementation detail with the main OpenGL package importing the
contents of all its sub-packages into itself (and I think that if you
look at the PyOpenGL source you'll find that it's doing something
similar). It's following a well-documented API that is separate from
its Python wrapper. It's unfortunate that the only namespacing
considered in the design of that API was "everything starts with the
prefix gl", but that's what we're stuck with. Moving things around
would just confuse users who can't then find them where they expect.
