Can you define aliases for imported modules in Python?
In Python, is it possible to define an alias for an imported module?
For instance:
import a_ridiculously_long_module_name
...so that is has an alias of 'short_name'.
import a_ridiculously_long_module_name as short_name
also works for
import module.submodule.subsubmodule as short_name
Check here
import module as name
or
from relative_module import identifier as name
If you've done:
import long_module_name
you can also give it an alias by:
lmn = long_module_name
There's no reason to do it this way in code, but I sometimes find it useful in the interactive interpreter.
