oh, before reading your answer, I thought calling a function explicitly from its location is a good practice.

@Aerin it would be better do not consider short statements (or, in this case, subjective conclusions) to be always true. Importing from __init__.py may be useful sometimes, but not all times.

from something import * is always a bad idea. I prefer to use import something then use something.someaction to call the specific someaction. In this way, you know exactly 'someaction' is from 'something' package. Avoid messing the namespace.
