I would suggest allowing each module to define its own imports, don't import what a module doesn't consume, keep them simple, avoid devising a common namespace for each, and let tools like isort/black work out how to order/express them in source files.
Indeed. And various checkers will report on unused imports. These add no value... why import something "as" and give it its own name?
import os as os import sys as sys import importlib as importlib
A general comment: there are some very common "import ... as" idioms (for example, it seems like *everyone* does "import pandas as pd") and those are okay to follow, but in general I would stay away from trying to give everything short-names. Each module imported with a name other than their own is a memory burden for the reader (maybe even for you!).
import aboutTime as tt # Time dates timestamps and the like import avMedia as av # Audio and maybe video 'someday' well definitely lots of TTS text to speech import basicSwitchboard as sc # First switchboard lurking. Kickoff to sequence viewers
Any decent editor these days will autocomplete for you, so there's really not much if any typing burden in using the full names.
