Hello, We’ve started using explicit relative imports in newer parts of the Django source tree. They’re short and readable. That’s good.
I would like to add guidelines about imports in the coding style guide in order to improve consistency. My inclination would be to recommend relative imports within “components” but avoid them between “components”, where a component is: - a well-defined sub-framework (django.core.cache, django.db, django.forms, django.template, etc.) - a contrib app - an app in the tests/ directory - etc. I would discourage going back into parent modules with relative imports because statements such as `from ...spam import eggs` are hard to parse. You can see an example of this style in django.apps which has only three files.
