What are Python imports and how do they work?

Python imports allow you to include code from other modules or packages in your script. This helps in organizing code and reusing functionality.

Can you explain the different types of imports in Python?

Sure! There are three main types of imports: standard imports, from-imports, and aliasing imports. Standard imports bring in the entire module, from-imports bring in specific functions or classes, and aliasing allows you to rename a module for easier access.

What is the difference between 'import module' and 'from module import function'?

Using 'import module' imports the entire module, requiring you to prefix functions with the module name. 'From module import function' imports just that function, allowing you to use it directly.

How do I handle import errors in Python?

You can handle import errors using try-except blocks. This allows you to catch ImportError exceptions and handle them gracefully.
