Whats the difference between normal and wild card imports?

Code Help Python

Disclaimer: I don’t know tkinter’s calls, so I’ll use my package instead.

Normal requires you to reference the package:

import firepup650 as fp # Normal
one = fp.replit_input("What's your favorite number?", int)
if one == 1:
    fp.cprint("one!")
else:
    fp.cprint(one)

Wildcard imports it directly:

from firepup650 import * # Wild Card
one = replit_input("What's your favorite number?", int)
if one == 1:
    cprint("one!")
else:
    cprint(one)

Hope this helps!
