importing same python library in multiple custom module

[escape_freedom13]

Hi All,

Scenario 01:

module:

import time


def printtime():
    print(time.time())

master program:

import module


module.printtime()

print(list(module.time.gmtime()))

Output will be:

Output:
1589049932.1866198
[2020, 5, 9, 19, 7, 41, 5, 130, 0]

Scenario 02:

module:

def printtime():
    print(time.time())

master program:

import time

import module


module.printtime()

Output will be:

Output:
NameError: name 'time' is not defined

I can import library in module and use it in master program but importing library in master program and use it in module functions won't work. I want to import python library in my master script and use it in python module functions directly. In other words, Scenario 02 to work.

I found a long way as below:

Scenario 03:

module:

def printtime(time):
    print(time.time())

master program:

import time

import module


module.printtime(time)

Output will be:

Output:
1589049932.1866198

But I want some more direct way like:

Scenario 04:

module:

def printtime():
    print(SOMETHING.time.time())

master program:

import time

import module


module.printtime()

Output will be:

Output:
1589049932.1866198

Is there any way? Please help me out.
