Status-Q

From our just-in-case-you’re-Googling-for-it department…

In Python code, wildcard import statements, such as:

from foo import *

can be very convenient, but are now usually considered bad practice.

I’ve written a really simple tool called dewildcard to help replace them with full expansions, which can then be trimmed down using a tool like pylint or pyflakes.

Just in case it’s useful…
