(from module import method) allows you call a method without prefixing it with the module name. So when you use (from module import *) to import all the functions in the module, you can access them without prefixing them. E.g from random import * randint (1,10) //I can call without prefixing with random import random //I would need to prefix the function I call with the module name E.g. random.randint (1,10)

if you just import math you need to use math(.) to access their function
