> This is considered to be bad style for large code bases (even with fancy IDEs because it can be difficult to statically resolve names due to Python’s dynamic nature); better to do import janus and explicitly give the module name janus when referencing imported classes or functions.

For sure, I was meaning just the name _janus_ vs _janus\_swi_, I could have made that clearer!
