Re: difference between import from mod.func() and x=mod.func()

I take it that it's not worth listening to that tutorial and just using good old import from, which I suspect is better anyway since it imports less...uneducated premature optimisation - I take it this is insulting a that programmer's progexuality...!
import from it is then unless anybody has anything else to say on the matter.ThanksHariOn 20/06/06, Fredrik Lundh
