Quick question on the code. I'm looking at this commit:

https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/commit/773630b0109c...

and wondering what "from .status_codes import codes" does?

Specifically the fact that it's not "status_codes" and has a dot prepended. Is that something special in Python (guessing no) or some convention that is used? Just curious.
