Is there a point to import the same module in two different ways in a program?

Question

Is there a point to import as both wildcard and non-wildcard manner like:

import spam as sp
from spam import *

in the very same file?

Answer 1

When you import spam as sp, you make sure that there are no conflicts with other import commands:

import spam as sp
import myfunctions as my

sp.foo()
my.foo()

This is working as expected, but this isn't:

from spam import *
from myfunctions import *


foo()
foo() #Which foo() is meant? UNCLEAR!!!

When you avoid this problem by using import spam as sp, why would you want to use from spam import * anyways? I don't think there is any point in this.
