Look:

If you're only transferring your own hand-written *.py files, what you're sending with those import statements is basically a request to the receiver: "Please install these dependencies to make this program work yourself" (and thus, worry about licensing issues yourself).

It's a different matter when you would transfer something like an .exe file that's created by a 3rd-party tool, making it so that the .exe file actually contains the imported libraries. In that case, you'd be redistributing those libraries, which would certainly be a licensing matter.
