Tomorrow (Apr 25, 2006) at 8:53am, John Connors spoke these wise words:

- ->G'day,
- ->
- ->I'm having trouble understanding the difference between,
- ->
- ->import sys
- ->and
- ->from sys import *
- ->
- ->It seems to me they both do the same thing.
- ->
- ->John

import sys imports sys elements in their own namespace
  use by preceding elements with 'sys.'

from sys import * imports sys elements in the local namespace
  use elements as any other local - no 'sys.' prefix
