Can you define aliases for imported modules in Python?

Question

In Python, can I define an alias for an imported module?

For example:

import a_ridiculously_long_module_name 

... so it has the alias "short_name".

Answer 1

 import a_ridiculously_long_module_name as short_name 

also works for

 import module.submodule.subsubmodule as short_name 

Answer 2

Check here

 import module as name 

or

 from relative_module import identifier as name 

Answer 3

If you have done:

 import long_module_name 

you can also give it an alias:

 lmn = long_module_name 

There is no reason to do this in code, but sometimes I find it useful in an interactive interpreter.
