Avoid polluting the namespace by doing "import *"

[0xHericles]

Description

Importing a module using import * may unintentionally pollute the global namespace if the module does not define __all__

When you import a module using from xxx import * all public names defined in the module are imported and bound in the local namespace of the import statement. The public names are determined by checking the all variable for the module. If all is not defined then all names within the module that do not start with an underscore character are imported. This pollutes the current namespace with names that are not part of the public API for the module.

70 | from .routes import *
71 | from .events import *
72 | 
73 | app.register_blueprint(http, url_prefix=r"")

Recommendation

There are two ways to address this problem:

• where possible, modify the module being imported from and define all to restrict the names to be imported
• otherwise, explicitly import the values that you need.
