#2653 Remove star imports
Closed: fixed 5 years ago Opened 11 years ago by pviktori.

Rework imports of the form from module import *, except with modules that are designed to work this way (i.e. define __all__).

Star imports make it more difficult to see where names come from, and names newly added to the imported module can unintentionally shadow variables elsewhere.
