When importing a module from a subpackage, it's sometimes convenient to refer to it throughout the code with a one-part name rather than two. I'm going to use 'os.path' for the examples, but my actual use-case is a custom package where the package name is, in the application, quite superfluous.
Throughout the code, I want to refer to "path.split()", "path.isfile()", etc, without the "os." in front of them. I could do either of these: import os.path as path from os import path Which one would you recommend? Does it depend on context? An "as" import works only if it's a module in a package, where the "from" import can also import other objects (you can't go "import pprint.pprint as pprint"). I'm fairly sure that's an argument... on one side or another. :) Thoughts? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
