I was going to say the same thing, except that this module
specifically is documented as recommending that. I still don't like
"import *", but either this is a special case, or the docs need to be
changed.
I think it's something of a special case. The main issue with
import * is that it makes it hard for someone reading the code
to tell where names are coming from.
However, all the names in the stat module are prefixed with
S_ or ST_ and are well-known stat-related names from the unix
C library, so there is less room for confusion in this case.
