[QGIS-Developer] Converting plugins to QGIS 3

[C Hamilton]

I am wondering how important it is to import the modules separately. Such
as:

from qgis.core import QGis, QgsCoordinateTransform, QgsRectangle, QgsPoint,
QgsGeometry

Does it really make a difference? I am finding that you have to make sure
every part of your code is exercised so that nothing was missed. By doing
the above there is more of a chance to have a bug. Perhaps for PyQt4.QtGui
it makes sense, but there is less chance to have a python error if you keep.

from qgis.core import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from qgis.gui import *

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Calvin
