[issue31454] Include "import as" in documentation

[Steve Johnson]

Steve Johnson added the comment:

My suggestion was to include this in the 2.7 tutorial, section 6 (modules) 
where the various syntax is described for import. Most of us don't dig into the 
reference until we are trying to find something specific. The tutorial is an 
excellent place to introduce useful but not obvious features of the language.

[issue31454] Include "import as" in documentation

[Mariatta Wijaya]

Mariatta Wijaya added the comment:

import as is documented, so I'm closing this unless you have other concerns.

Python 3 docs: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#import
```
If the module name is followed by as, then the name following as is bound 
directly to the imported module
```

Wording is somewhat different in Python 2.7 docs, but it's there: 
https://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-import-statement

Thanks.

Where do you find that it is not documented that you would expect it to be?  
Because 'import' 'as' is certainly documented.

[issue31454] Include "import as" in documentation

[Steve Johnson]

New submission from Steve Johnson:

I was wondering if you could do something like fiblib = import fibo or import 
fibo as fiblib, and low and behold, the "as" variant worked. I find this very 
useful, and thought it should be part of your documentation on "import"
