4.3.1 Import Methods ​

Python provides several ways to import modules and their contents.
Choosing the correct import style improves readability and avoids naming conflicts.


Common Import Forms ​

Python supports multiple import approaches:

  • Importing an entire module
  • Importing specific objects from a module
  • Importing with an alias

Each approach serves a different purpose depending on usage context.


Import Behavior ​

  • Imported modules are loaded only once
  • Names are added to the current namespace
  • Aliases help shorten long module names

📌 Note:
Prefer explicit imports to keep code clear and maintainable.
