"import foo" and "from foo import bar"

[Tom Loredo]

Hi-

An additional difference, relevant if you are working in IDLE or
interactively and using names you have imported from a module
you may change (i.e., you are debugging it), is that if you
use

import me

then when you edit me.py, you can get the updated contents by using

reload(me)

I don't know of any similarly simple reload method if you are
explicitly loading specific names from me.py.

Peace,
