replace from manim import *

[nicataliyev]

Hi dear manim team,

Are there any plans to change the way manim vars and modules are imported using import *. Since import * is considered to be bad practice from python software engineering perspectice and sometimes causes confusions when using custom modules as those module names may interfere with sub-modules of manim.

Hello! There are no short-term plans to change how we use the library in our documentation I'd say -- but you don't have to use *-imports anyways, you can always use scripts like this:

import manim as mn

class HelloWorld(mn.Scene):
    def construct(self):
        t = mn.Text("Hello World!")
        self.play(mn.Write(t))
        self.play(mn.FadeOut(t))
