Module and Parameter with the same name
<p>I have seen a question on SO about having a Parameter and a Function with the same name, and how to deal with that, but I haven't found one that deals with having a parameter and a module with the same name.</p>

<p>I would prefer to avoid using the <code>from x import *</code> importing method in favor of <code>import x</code>.  However, this leads me to the situation where I have a parameter to a function named <code>x</code>, which is the same as the module name <code>x</code>.  What are the cleanest ways to get around this?</p>
