Question: In python, Is it wise to use the imports from your sub classes, or does it matter?
Info:
So, I have a program split up over 6 files. in almost every one of the .py files i import threading, socket, and pickle. What I'm wondering is this, is there an efficiency difference between:
File1.py:
import socket
File2.py:
import File1
import socket
and this:
File2.py:
import File1
from File1 import socket
Or even this:
File2.py
import File1
socket = File1.socket
Don't use from File1 import socket
. It doesn't make a performance difference, but it gives headaches to other people having to look in the other file to see that File1.socket
is actually socket
, and it might get messy if you decide you don't need socket
in File1
.
Also, this is against the python principles because:
The import statement is smart enough to realize when a module has already been imported, an not import it again. So:
File.py:
import socket
File2.py:
import File1
import socket
is just fine.
No, there is no efficiency difference. The first approach is the best, since it promotes modularity (like for instance, what if File1.py decides to stop importing socket
, then File2.py gets broken)
