In this case, I like option 2 (importing only the names used) better. Otherwise we end up with huge sections of import statements at the start of each file, which makes the code hard to scan. Admitted, it is difficult to keep this list up-to-date (i.e. forgetting to remove unused symbols form the import statement), but that's what pychecker is for IMHO. Maintaining readability is also the main arguments against "from foo import *" IMO.
