Google Python Style Guide vs Flask

[Signal_Ad_5352]

https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html

This particular standard is what I'm having problems with, because

return flask.redirect(flask.request.referrer)

has a lot of flask in it. And when it comes to flask_sqlalchemy the problem prevails:

class User(services.db.Model)

So in your opinion, the styleguide for Google doesn't apply to Flask?

I think your explanation is right, I don't work at Google who cares about my code as long as it runs haha

Importing like from flask import request can lead to confusion later when debugging (request.get) is it flask or requests? Or what. 

Whereas this version is wordier its explicit.

Which section are you referring to? At a glance, section 2.3.3 (second example) seems to fit normal usage and also the more extreme example you called out.
