1) Every name in Python is a variable. 2) Every distinct name (including qualifications) is a distinct variable. Changing one does not automatically change another. “from xx import yy” creates a variable named “yy” in the current scope, initialized to xx.yy but otherwise distinct from it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
