True.  The O.P. can note one of the miracles of Python: (for an example,
I'll pick a library module at random .. image)  One can write a module  --
myimage.py, say, that imports image, and has some functions that return
objects based on calls to image functions.

A program that imports myimage can use these objects in all possible ways
and not have to import image.  It doesn't need to know anything about just
where myimage gets its stuff.  Importing only strictly needs to be one
level deep.  (Of course, the programmer needs to know what all those
possible ways are.  The programmer may have to have read the docs for the
image module ... )
