Is there an import static equivalent in Python?

In java, one can import a class statically by calling import static com.Abc, for example. And then instead having to call Abc.doSomething() you can just call doSomething(). Is there an equivalent of this in Python, and if so, what is it?

You can just import the function directly. Consider the timedelta function in Python's datetime package. If I want to just import the function I use:

from datetime import timedelta

Then I can use the function on its own.

Also, I can rename packages to simplify things. For instance, it is a common convention to import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, pandas as pd, and seaborn as sns:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
