Are there any efficiency or style guidelines regarding the choice of "import <module>" vs. "from <module> import <name>, ..."?
If one only needs to import a few names from a module, are there specific benefits to explictly importing these names? My understanding is that both forms of the import command require the entire module to be processed. If this comes down purely to preference, are there PEP 8-like standards regarding which approach to use when? Thanks, Malcolm
