Ways to import readline from sys.stdin in Python

Question

This is what I'm doing:

from sys import stdin
value = stdin.readline()

I'm looking for a way to do this: (code doesn't work, I tried.)

from sys import stdin.readline as read
value = read()

Is there any way to achieve this? Or should I stick to using stdin.readline() ?

My only reason for needing this is readability (to me) and less code, and it is for only online competitive programming, not for production-level code, where I understand that it's better to be explicit.

Answer 1

You cannot import a method of an object ( stdin.readline ) separately from the object ( stdin ). Incidentally, stdin.readline() is more readable than read() because it explains from which source data is read.
