Python import datetime confusion

It there any difference between 'from datetime import datetime' and 'from datetime import date'? And what's the difference between from datetime import datetime n just import datetime? So confusing. Please help in detail Thanks

Using a syntax: "from x import y" allows you to call y directly, instead of having to use the module prefix. You can use "from x import *" to import all methods of the module, but this is mostly unadvisable (as some imported methods may then overwrite the builtins). Let's consider the following cases: 1. import math 2. from math import sqrt 3. from math import sqrt as s Now, if you want to invoke a square root of 16, you type: 1. math.sqrt(16) 2. sqrt(16) 3. s(16)

datetime itself is like a submodule within datetime (WTH Guido!) That internal datetime has functions
