Instantiate all functions in Python

Question

Is there a way to do something like this:

util.py contains:
def add
def subtract

instantiate.py contains:
def instantiate

where instantiate does:

import util
def instantiate():
    add = util.add
    subtract = util.subtract

So I can skip typing util everytime I use a function and I can instantiate them all using one function?

I tried but I get

NameError: global name 'util' is not defined

Answer 1

You can import specific functions from a module :

from util import add, substract

Answer 2

if you just want to import those functions into the same namespace, you could do something like this:

from util import *

then you can write add and so on without prefixing it with that module
