when you import x , it binds the name x to x object , It doesn’t give you the direct access to any object that is your module, If you want access any object you need to specify like this <\/p>\n

x.myfunction()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
On the other side when you import using from x import * , It brings all the functionalities into your module, so instead of x.myfunction() you can access it directly<\/p>\n
myfunction ()<\/code><\/p>\n
for example lets suppose  we have module example.py<\/strong> <\/p>\n
def myfunction ():\n    print \"foo\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now we have the main script main.py<\/strong> , which make use of this module .<\/p>\n
if you use simple import then you need to call myfunction() like this<\/p>\n
import example\n\nexample.myfucntion()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
if you use from, you dont need to use module name to refer function , you can call directly like this<\/p>\n
from example import myfunction\n\nmyfunction()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
