I like the explicit nature of Python's imports. And especially how I can choose the best way to indicate the sources of names in my code: import time t = time.perf_counter() import time, my_module t1 = time.perf_counter() t2 = my_module.perf_counter() from time import perf_counter as std_counter from my_module import perf_counter as my_counter t1 = std_counter() t2 = my_counter() try: from my_module import perf_counter except ImportError: # Fall back to standard implementation from time import perf_counter t = perf_counter() # import time as m import my_module as m t = m.perf_counter()
