Me too. :-) > and this statement confused me: "Always use from module import Name, > Name2, Name3.. syntax instead of import module or from module import > *. This is more efficient, reduces typing in the rest of the code, > and it makes it much easier to see name collisions and to replace > implementations." The efficiency gain is negligible. The typing can be better reduced by using import modulename as m And it definitley doesn't make it easier to see name collisions, they will just silently collide and one or the other name will be hidden with strange results! > To me, import module is more explicit. Undeniably so! > It seems to easier to read CoolModule.niceFunction() than just > niceFunction(). Easier to read but slightly harder to type. Personally I can live with it!
