Importing time module twice

Question

I saw the code from Youtube and have a question.

The code below imports time twice.

import pandas as pd
import os
import time
from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime

By importing time on third line, I think 5th line is useless.

Why does he import time twice?

please look at : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12229580/python-importing-a-sub-package-or-sub-module there is a nice answer there — Eyal Ch, Dec 27 '15 at 07:39

He doesn't. He copies time.mktime to mktime. He doesn't have to, he just does so for convenience.
