Python "from xxx.yyy import xxx" error

Question

I'm working with the PyFacebook package in Python, and I've seen people mention numerous times that you can write an import statement as follows:

from facebook.djangofb import facebook

However, it does not work. It states that facebook.method_name exists in the facebook module, rather than the djangofb module. I assume I'm importing the facebook.method_name as facebook, not that I'm receiving it from the facebook package itself.

I'm using Python 2.6.

How can I alias facebook.djangofb as facebook?

Answer 1

This is the proper way to alias a module via import:

import facebook.djangofb as facebook
