Now, this is all IMHO: the style guide does not define any 'guidelines'
on this, except that its okay to use "from ... import ..." to pull in
classes and (implicitly) constants, and despite how the rules say 'one
module per line' its OK to pull in more then one name -from- a module at
once.
What do you mean by "(implicitly) constants"?

Quote, PEP-8:

 - Imports should usually be on separate lines, e.g.:

        Yes: import os
             import sys

        No:  import sys, os

      it's okay to say this though:

        from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

It explicitly states later its entirely OK to import classes. It never
says anything else directly, except in the example given, it shows you
importing a constant. So, its giving implicit approval to that without
really directly saying anything about it.


Thanks for the clarification -- I was reading it as constants being implicitly imported, and I knew that wasn't so! ;)
