How can I use advanced import techniques in Python?

You can use advanced import techniques like relative imports, dynamic imports, and importing specific attributes from modules.

Can you explain relative imports with an example?

Sure! Relative imports allow you to import modules relative to the current module's location. For example, if you have a package structure like this:

my_package/
    __init__.py
    module_a.py
    module_b.py

In module_b.py, you can import module_a using:

from . import module_a

What about dynamic imports? How do they work?

Dynamic imports allow you to import a module at runtime using the importlib module. For example:

import importlib
module_name = 'module_a'
module = importlib.import_module(module_name)

Are there any best practices for using these advanced imports?

Yes, it's best to keep your imports organized, avoid circular imports, and use absolute imports when possible for clarity.
