In response to this, would the following also be possible:

classes.py:

  class Class1
    pass

  class Class2(Class1)
    pass


or would I still need to call it as:

  class Class2(classes.Class1)
    pass


Also, I have seen the following syntax used once before, and havent
found any documentation on it, any comments as to use, where to find
docs, etc?:

    from module import x as name
    name.function()

Thanks for the help, you explanation pretty much covered what I wanted
to know, but also got some more questions!
