   There is a 'What are the "best practices" for using import in a module?'
FAQ:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py?req=show&file=faq04.100.htp
   My aversion to "import *" comes from the consensus on comp.lang.python,
especially from Tim Peters - all praise the timbot!. It is also a good idea
to try to limit dependencies as designs where each module calls a lot of
other modules are hard to understand.
