Question

My question is about how to place multiple imports in a single line.

from sys import argv
from os.path import exists

Can we modify the above statements into a single statement like the one shown below:

from sys,os.path import argv,exists   

Can we do it that way..?Please do correct me if I am wrong.

Answer 1

Nope, you can’t. Sorry!

The python import statement only supports one module to import statements from at a time.

If you could do this, hypothetically speaking, what would the following mean:

from threading, multiprocessing import Thread, Condition, Lock

what module would Condition be imported from? Both modules define such a class.

Python prefers explicit over implicit; you select one source from which to import at a time as that results in the least surprise and the greatest clarity as to what is happening.
