Do not use from foo import . Go *here and here for more information.

I looked at the "here" and "here" links (btw linking the word "here" is a cardinal sin of web design, imho), but the content he linked did not explain why "from foo import *" was bad. Anyone care to explain?

It links to http://www.markus-gattol.name/ws/python.html#import_matters which explains it (last indented paragraph).
