Short answer: no

Slightly longer answer: you can persuade Vim to have lines longer
than 'tw' as long as you don't insert/append/gq on those lines (or are
willing to re-join them after they re-wrap; though Vim makes that
easy).

More convoluted answer: you could write some sort of script/plugin
that manages lines that match "^\s*import" or
"^\s*from\s\+.*\s\+import\>" and

More PEP8 answer: don't do that. :-) Personally, this is the route I
choose, as I like to keep them one-per-line, alphabetically sorted
(well, dominantly sorted first by stdlib, then add-ons, then
project modules). It also makes VCS diffs neater. I'd rather see


import foo
import bar
+ import baz
import fred
import barney

than

- import foo, bar, fred, barney
+ import foo, bar, baz, fred, barney

where I have to pay attention to what changed rather than having it
obscured.
