combine multiple libraries import with specific function import

Question

In python you can import multiple libraries at once and also you can import a specific function from a library like below:

import sys, os, csv
from shutil import copyfile

Is there a way to combine this?

For example, like this:

import sys, os, csv, from shutil import copyfile

Note, i'm aware that we can use shutil.copyfile, but I would like to use copyFile without shutil

If you NEED it in one line, you could use a semicolon

Such as:

import sys, os, csv; from shutil import copyfile

Oh, this is simple. Does this mean it cannot be imported using one import statement? – Gangula Jan 19 '22 at 15:44
As far as I know, this would not be possible. Utilizing the semicolon basically combines two lines into one. – Amster Plays Jan 19 '22 at 15:49

You can use ;to add multiple statements in single lines in Python

import sys, os, csv; from shutil import copyfile

If you really want to combine the imports in one line, you can do this :

import sys, os, csv; from shutil import copyfile

Just change de "," anfter csv to ";"

However, it is not recommended to do this.
