python: what is the purpose of using ( ) in python imports?

Question

I just saw the following

from flask_login import (LoginManager, login_required, login_user, 
                         current_user, logout_user, UserMixin)

in here

What is the purpose of using parenthesis () in import statement?

Why shall someone use parenthesis while we can live without it?

is it recommended?

Answer 1

So the statement can wrap onto the next line.

See sections: 2.1.5. Explicit line joining and 2.1.6. Implicit line joining.
