How to deal with Python long import

Question

This is about python long import like this:

from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.eee.fff.ggg.hhh.iii.jjj.kkk.lll.mmm.nnn.ooo import xxx

The length between 'from' and 'import' is already above than 80 characters, is there any better pythonic ways to deal with it?

Answer 1

You can always wrap lines using the \ character at the end of the line.

from a.very.long.and.unconventional.structure.\
         and.name import foo

For multiple statements to import after the from x import statement, you can use parentheses and wrap inside these parentheses without a newline escape:

from foo.bar import (test,
                     and,
                     others)
