difference between import from mod.func() and x=mod.func()

[Hari Sekhon]

I take it that it's not worth listening to that tutorial and just using good
old "import from", which I suspect is better anyway since it imports less...

"uneducated premature optimisation" - I take it this is insulting a that
programmer's progexuality...!



"import from" it is then unless anybody has anything else to say on the
matter.


Thanks

Hari
