It's mostly a style thing, but there are cases where *import requests as req* makes sense. If you're working with multiple libraries that have long names or similar functions, shortening them can reduce confusion.

For example, if you're also using `urllib.request`, having both as just "request" could get messy. Using "req" keeps it clear which one you're referencing.

Readability depends on the team—some prefer full names, others like shorthand. No right answer, just what works for your project.
