Like you said: Depends on the particular use. How to give a universal answer? Matplotlib does very much for you, but you still need to use your head a little bit. Nobody forces you to "from pylab import *" if a "from pylab import linspace" was enough. So take a look at you code, that should be enough. If you are still not satisfied maybe you try to search for "python unused imports", maybe you find a profiler or something like that that helps you. In addition, reading the documentation text to the functions (with ?func or help func in ipython) helps to find out where the modules come from if you did excessive importing jobs before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
