Are there any other uses for Python\'s \"from\" keyword aside from import statements?

    The following use

    from __future__ import some_feature
    

    is syntactically identical to an import statement but instead of importing a module, it changes the behavior of the interpreter in some fashion, depending on the value of some_feature.

    For example, from __future__ import with_statement allows you to use Python's with statement in Python 2.5, even though the with statement wasn't added to the language until Python 2.6. Because it changes the parsing of source files, any __future__ imports must appear at the beginning of a source file.

    See the __future__ statement documentation for more information.

    See the __future__ module documentation for a list of possible __future__ imports and the Python versions they are available in.

    In Python 2.x, the only use of from is for the from x import y statement. However, for Python 3.x, it can be used in conjunction with the raise statement, e.g.:

    try:
        raise Exception("test")
    except Exception as e:
        raise Exception("another exception") from e

    There is a new syntax for delegating to a subgenerator in Python 3.3 which uses the from keyword.

    With the finalization of PEP 3134, the from keyword can be used when an exception is generated (raise) as a consequence of catching an exception in a try-except block.

    try:
        <some code>
    except <exception type> as e:
        raise <exception> from e
    
    

    The keyword from allows to keep track of the caught exception e in the new excaption raised. The exception e will be stored in the attribute __cause__ of the new exception.

    Since there are a lot of updates to python from the time of posting the question, here is a new use case of from keyword in python3 will show you the use with an example

    def flatten(l):
        for element in l:
            if type(element) == type(list()):
                yield from flatten(element)
            else:
                yield element
    
    def flatten2(l):
        for element in l:
            if type(element) == type(list()):
                yield flatten2(element)
            else:
                yield element
    
    
    unflatted_list = [1,2,3,4,[5,6,[7,8],9],10]
    flatted_list = list(flatten(unflatted_list))
    flatted_list2 = list(flatten2(unflatted_list))
    print(flatted_list) # [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
    print(flatted_list2) # [1, 2, 3, 4, <generator object flatten2 at 0x000001F1B4F9B468>, 10]

    No and yes.

    According to the official Python 2.7.2 grammar, the only occurrence of the word from is in the clause import_from, so no.

    In the Python 3.1.3 grammar a new clause

    raise_stmt: 'raise' [test ['from' test]]
    

    appears, so yes.
