Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] py2app = newbie path confusion

[Charles Hartman]

I think one frequent reason people fall back on 'from xxx import *' is simply that typing the whole module name over and over gets tedious and makes the code sprawl. I find 'import xxx as yyy' very useful for this, since it can give you a nice short alias, still readable if you're careful about naming, to sprinkle through the code.
