When it refers to 'the imported module names' it sounds as though
it is referring to the top level variables and functions in the
imported module.
A "module name" usually is the name of a module.
When someone uses "module name(s)" it does /not/ sound as
if he is using it to mean "the top level variables and
functions in the named module(s)".
Since the preceding sentence uses the plural "import statements",
the next sentence has to use the plural "module names".
'next sentence' is the operative piece. I think that if the bit
about placement was moved to the end of the paragraph the whole thing would
be more readable and I wouldn't have stumbled on it.
If it had meant "the imported module's names" or indeed "the imported
modules' names", I would hope it would have said so.
