Python Import Syntax Rules [duplicate]

Question

I've been doing some searching but I couldn't find any consensus on the syntax allowed for imports.

I threw an syntax error for this import and was wondering if there was documentation on allowable syntax.

import some-module

# Do stuff.

You can't use hyphen('-') symbol in any names in Python as this is regarded as substraction operator. Use underscore ('_') instead.
