Python Module Import: How to Use `import` to Introduce External Functions?

Python modules are .py files containing functions, variables, etc. Importing them allows reusing code to enhance development efficiency. Common import methods include: basic import `import module_name` (e.g., `import math`, with function calls requiring a module prefix like `math.sqrt`); renaming import `import module_name as alias` (e.g., `import math as m`); importing specific functionality `from module_name import function_name` (e.g., `from math import sqrt`); and importing submodules or custom modules (custom module names should not conflict with standard libraries). Avoid `import *` to prevent naming conflicts. For ImportError, check module paths and spelling. Proper use of imports makes code more concise and maintainable.
