@pamelafox I think that unless it’s from a horrifically named module then it’s better to go with “os.getenv” or “requests.get” etc as the clarity you get with it is of greater benefit than that of having a cleaner import statement, although I tend to use “from x import y” for local imports

@briannawu @jeromechoo @Colman first of all Palestine != Hama, second of all I think you’ll find that Israel started this in 1948, it’s called the Nakba, third of all most of what you say has happened has been repeatedly disproven as Israeli propaganda, and fourth of all, it’s not a war it’s a genocide.
