Python3 correct way to import relative or absolute?

by

In Python 3, implicit relative imports are forbidden, see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/ and https://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html#removed-syntax:

The only acceptable syntax for relative imports is from .[module]
import name. All import forms not starting with . are interpreted as
absolute imports. (PEP 0328)

from .stuff import Stuff is an explicit relative import, which you “should” make use of whenever possible, and must use in Python 3, whenever possible. Head over to https://stackoverflow.com/a/12173406/145400 for a deeper analysis on relative imports.
