Well, this query struck my mind when someone pointed out to me that importing a package using import package gives more code readability. Is this actually true? I mean when using this statement as compared to from package import x, y, z, isn't there any overhead of importing the entire package?
The performance will be same either way. The entire module is compiled, if needed, and the code executed, the first time you import a module, no matter how you import it.
