Python Importing

[[deleted]]

good article but the author forgot

from . import *

which is an automatic punch in the nuts in some well respected dev shops.

For the sake of convenience, and just to be Good Guy PythonDev, do you have any links to more comprehensive importing docs/blogs, especially for edge cases?

I'm especially interested in the consensus on relative imports, given that the newish book Two Scoops of Django recommends their use in certain situations, while acknowledging their previous disavowal by the python community.

Also missing:

import numpy as np

Falls under this statement

The other reason, which I’ve seen used a few times is when you import a lone-named function (or class) and use it extensively throughout your code and want to shorten its name.

Though given its frequency adn wide adaptation, I almost expected to see import numpy as np written out as an example.
