How to do multiple imports in Python?

import lib1, lib2, lib3, lib4, lib5

Try this:

import lib1, lib2, lib3, lib4, lib5

You can also change the name they are imported under in this way, like so:

import lib1 as l1, lib2 as l2, lib3, lib4 as l4, lib5

if you want multi-line:

from englishapps.multiple.mainfile import (
    create_multiple_,
    get_data_for_multiple
)

For known module, just separate them by commas:

import lib1, lib2, lib3, lib4, lib5

If you really need to programmatically import based on dynamic variables, a literal translation of your ruby would be:

modnames = "lib1 lib2 lib3 lib4 lib5".split()
for lib in modnames:
    globals()[lib] = __import__(lib)

Though there's no need for this in your example.
