It is recommended to not to use import * in Python.
Can anyone please share the reason for that, so that I can avoid it doing next time?
Because it puts a lot of stuff into your namespace (might shadow some other object from previous import and you won't know about it).
Because you don't know exactly what is imported and can't easily find from which module a certain thing was imported (readability).
Because you can't use cool tools like pyflakes to statically detect errors in your code.
