Import multiple modules with a single statement

There are multiple modules I use on a daily basis, and importing all of them every time I want to use them is quite bothersome.

I was hoping for something such as this

#essentials.py
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
etc etc

Then in something else, I could do:

import essentials
r = requests.get(example) #Requests is not defined here, as I have not imported it
soup  = BeautifulSoup(r, 'lxml')

from essentials import *

This will put all the names in essentials.py into the namespace of the module, if this is done in the top-level of the module.

So you can do

from essentials import *
r = requests.get(example)
soup  = BeautifulSoup(r, 'lxml')

Take a look at the official documentation for reference.
