Certainly it's your choice. I find most programs using path only reference path.path once, to create a starting path; other paths are created from that using files() or / etc. In this case it is less typing to say import path basePath = path.path(...) instead of from path import path basePath = path(...) from path import path only wins on number of chars if you reference path *three* times.
