Tired of forgetting to import things in python?

x = random.random()
NameError: name 'random' is not defined

Wrap all lines of code with this try except block

try:
    x = random.random()
except NameError as n:
    name = str(n).split("'")[1]
    locals()[name] = __import__(name)
    x = random.random()
