Suppose I read code written by someone else where “from import *” is used, how can I determine what module a function is from? Is this the reason why some people frown upon “from import *”?

Yes, this is why
from <module> import *is considered bad style. What you can do is remove these*imports one by one, then check whichNameErrors you get and solve them one by one by explicit imports.
