Seems in-middle "import" is widely used in other *.py,
See bitbake/lib/bb/fetch/ssh.py,
    def go(self, url, urldata, d):
..........................
        import commands
        cmd = 'scp -B -r %s %s %s/' % (
            port,
            commands.mkarg(fr),
            commands.mkarg(ldir)
        )

I found only bb has such limitation:all the "import bb.xxx" are in the 
head of function, and adding stuff before it will cause same problem. 
Anything special for bb module?
