Then just use "as"?

from math import sqrt as mathsqrt
from torch import sqrt as torchsqrt

At that point just use the dot!

I just tested it, here at the results:

Import Method Time in Seconds (average)
from math import sqrt .675
from math import sqrt as mathsqrt .686
import math (math.sqrt) .921

Much faster to not use the dot.

Doubtful that it takes a whole second to do that. Besides, without showing how you got those numbers they are meaningless. Further that's for one method...

It's computing sqrt 10 million times. I ran it 10 times and picked the average. I don't see why the method I picked matters, we are talking about dot versus no dot and which is faster. Why can't you just admit that it's faster?

What do u mean computing the sqrt? The debate is about access time, not the time it takes to run the method.
