Wouldn't it then be better to normally use:

from PyQt4.QtCore import *

and when you want to avoid typing pyqtSignature:

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import pyqtSignature as signature

That way noone gets any nasty surprises, and the generic name
"signature" only ever gets assigned explicitly.
