Writing apps without using relative imports

I've noticed the push by Guido and others to use absolute imports
instead of relative imports. I've always enjoyed the ease of relative
imports, but am starting to understand that "explicit is better than
implicitly" as the Python philosophy goes. I'm trying to develop a
strategy for writing packages using only absolute imports and would
really like to know what others have learned.
