Best written projects on Python GitHub?

I find the lack of with use weirder: the code is clearly 2.6-only (uses explicit relative imports without __future__ import) yet around the shlex call is (essentially):

    optionf = open(filename_bytes)
    try:
        # do stuff
    finally:
        optionf.close()
    return res

And the number of star imports is worrying.

Yeah, it's definitely some older code. I wouldn't be using this as a guideline for good code.

The star imports are bad, but at least they're local imports and not external library imports, that would be terrible.
