title: import someModule, instead of clr.AddReferenceToFile("someModule")?
body: <p>I am a python beginner (python 2.7 and ironpython 2.7) and not a programmer.
  From time to time, I find a code which starts like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import clr
  clr.AddReferenceToFile("nameOfmodule")
  from nameOfmodule import someMethod
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the point of this?
  Can't we just use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from nameOfmodule import someMethod
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>?</p>
  
  <p>I tried googling but have not really understand the explanation.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for the reply.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: the confusion is not between "from nameOfmodule import someMethod" and "import nameOfmodule.someMethod". I edited the code, so that now it makes more sense.</p>
