When reading source code of fastapi, this line make me fuzzy:

from starlette.testclient import TestClient as TestClient

Why not just: from starlette.testclient import TestClient?

I don't think there is a difference. – Grismar Jun 05 '22 at 03:38

there is no meaningful difference ... other than in the option they chose they could swap out the import and still refer to it as TestClient – Joran Beasley Jun 05 '22 at 03:40
