If you lookup os module, not only os.sep but couple of other values are also imported from os.path. 

from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep,
    devnull)

Yes, you are right. There are no differences. They exists there for utility purposes. Removing them would be a bad idea.
