documenting imports in Python
Question: So imagine I have a Django 1.9 application with many models.

Inside `admin.py` I import my models, but I want to stick to the 80 character
limit. What is the best practice for something like this?

For example

    
    
    from .models import app_name_student, app_name_teacher, app_name_employment, app_name_grade, app_name_subject, app_name_activity
    

Is this the best solution or are there better solutions that I'm not aware of?
Typically, I would do this

    
    
    from .models import app_name_student, app_name_teacher, app_name_employment
    from .models import app_name_grade, app_name_subject, app_name_activity
    

Otherwise, there probably is a framework/standards that I am not aware of...


Answer: Although there is nothing wrong with what you have - you can and should split
up imports.

However, [as per pep8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#maximum-line-
length) (the Python style guide) you can use `( )`:

> The preferred way of wrapping long lines is by using Python's implied line
> continuation inside parentheses, brackets and braces. Long lines can be
> broken over multiple lines by wrapping expressions in parentheses. These
> should be used in preference to using a backslash for line continuation.

That would result in code like:

    
    
    from .models import (
       app_name_student,
       app_name_teacher,
       ...
       ...
    )
    

Although it may raise a a few eyebrows as its not a common use of `( )`; most
developers prefer multiple import lines.

Avoid the temptation to do `from .models import *`.
