Place q into builtins?
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)
