I find it's easier to have short names, defined at the beginning, rather than clogging up my code with full.path.to.a.module. I imagine preferences vary. What I don't understand is why they prefer: from thepackage.subpackage import amodule over import thepackage.subpackage.amodule as amodule I always found the second to be more clear, since it doesn't mix the idea of package-resolution with the idea of picking-things-out-of-a-module. On the down side, I end up typing "amodule" twice.
