Place q into builtins?

[proofit404]

It is annoying to type import each time I want to use q.

Installation process can setup init hook so q or _q will be available in the global namespace.

Is it desired feature?

Yeah, I personally think this is the main (and pretty much only) disadvantage of q - having to install it each time if you're using virtualenvs, for example. And remembering to uninstall it after you debug or it becomes part of your dependencies.

That’s a different thing!

The OP requested a way to have the q module automatically imported, the second message is about automatically installing the q package (which is a problem solved by virtualenvwrapper hooks or dev dependencies etc)
