Python question: Importing modules the purpose of "."

Hi, Online, I saw this import urllib.request Is this having two libraries being imported together? Eg What is the difference between import urllib.request vs import urllib import request

urllib is a package and urllib.request is one of the four modules in that package. The documentation fir the urllib package can be found here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.html

If you would like to import the entire package, I believe you can just do: import urllib
