PEP8 rules for Imports

suggest change

Some recommended PEP8 style guidelines for imports:

  1. Imports should be on separate lines:
    from math import sqrt, ceil      # Not recommended
    from math import sqrt            # Recommended
    from math import ceil
  2. Order imports as follows at the top of the module:
    > - Standard library imports 
    > - Related third party imports 
    > - Local application/library specific imports
  3. Wildcard imports should be avoided as it leads to confusion in names in the current namespace. If you do from module import *, it can be unclear if a specific name in your code comes from module or not. This is doubly true if you have multiple from module import *-type statements.
  4. Avoid using relative imports; use explicit imports instead.
