Please never use `from something import *`, not even for a demo. It is not explicit, not maintainable, and goes against all Python guidelines. Certainly never expect any user to use it either.

FWIW the afaik most common symbolic math Python library sympy does that on the first page of their tutorial. I think in this space it's pretty common.
How did you verify the benefit?

I have to admit that I still like to use the ancient
in scripts that only I will ever see. It makes it so much easier to use numpy in a "tool of thought" way. I would never do this in a library, though.
