Python: How to import, from two modules, Classes that have same names?

Question

I\'m writing a python programm to do granular syncs between different DB.

I\'m using SQLAlchemy and a module named sqlautocode for DB inspecting and Schema Classes p

Answer 1

You don't have to import classes from modules in this case. Instead import both modules. Like this:

import moda, modb

moda.MyClass()
modb.MyClass()

On the other hand this doesn't let you use cool tools like pyflakes. So I would do the hard work (you have to do it only once, right?) and import classes with renaming. I am great supporter of from x import something because it let's you detect errors the earliest possible.

Answer 2

Just import the modules and don't try to pull the names from them. from X import Y should be used sporadically, anyway.

import module_a
import module_b

module_a.x
module_b.x
