I am making a Django project with multiple apps and was wondering if it would be considered good or bad practice to create a single library.py file with all the "import x" and "from x import y, z" statements and then simply put "from library.py import *" at the top of every other file?

What would be considered best practice for managing your imported libraries like this?

Thanks for the help.

  • You should **never** use `from X import *`. Imagine `X` exposing a function called `min` (or anything else that clashes with built-in names or even names defined in your importing script) – DeepSpace Mar 15 '21 at 12:58

From the zen of Python: 'Explicit is better than implicit'. So it would be better to explicitly import everything. This makes debugging for example more clear.
