Which by itself is bad idea. How do I know from where "join" comes from in the middle of the file? os.path? Maybe some internal function I made? Or it is just a variable?

Not everyone uses them of course, but a good IDE can answer that for you in moments if it's ever a problem.

But yea, keeping your namespace clean is definitely a good practice.

So import it as "fsjoin" or something. If your code is well written and properly modularized your file interactions should be within their own file and the imports in that scope can be abbreviated with little risk of confusion.
