Is from os import path importing a class called 'path' or importing a function called 'path'

Question

I've been confused about this for a while now, I still have no idea what from x import y really means. All I know is that it imports y from the file x(?)

Answer 1

Suppose you have file name x.py and that file there has a multiple function module like

def a():
    print('You\'re A!')
def b():
    print('You\'re B!')
def c():
    print('You\'re C!')
def d():
    print('You\'re D!')
.........

From the above x.py file when you need a specific module a then you can define that module name by from x import a. When you need to import all module from the x.py you can define then from x import *.
