Plox is slang for please that I incorrectly assumed was semi-well-known.

[This StackOverflow page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4209641/absolute-vs-explicit-relative-import-of-python-module) summarizes things well. PEP8 prefers absolute imports in all cases, it makes it easier to see at a glance where the import is coming from, etc.

Having said that, I don't feel all that strongly about it (and break it occasionally, mostly in settings files). If you're really for the explicit relative import, go for it! :D
