It's not like "Zen of Python" is an inviolable law, but things that break it are not, in my opinion, "Pythonic". The top 2 aphorisms are: "Beautiful is better than ugly." I think this is ugly. It's visually appealing, but my editor doesn't know that "csvbase" is a magic symbol that selects the code path to follow. That deep ugliness outweighs any skin-deep cleverness. "Explicit is better than implicit." That sums it up. This is implicit. `pip install foo` changing runtime behavior of packages that never import foo is as implicit as it gets. From a developer's and a security engineer's point of view, I loathe that code is running simply because it exists. It's possible to do these things. I contend that it's not Pythonic, and we should not be doing them.
