Importing modules in python

Question

If i can import module using this method:

from module import *

Can you tell me a situation where it is more advantageous to use the method below:

import module

Because, as of now, i could only think of one advantage but i'm not so sure if it really is.

Answer 1

When you use the first method, all names in module_name are placed inside the current modules namespace, this can lead to naming conflicts if there are similar names in both modules. Plus it takes more time to load all names if u use the first method. You should do it for relatively small modules

Answer 2

Thank you for both of answer, yeah name clashing was the one i was thinking of.
