error: name Twitter not defined on using import twitter

Question

I used import twitter and then tried authenticating using the following command - Twitter(auth=OAuth(access_token, access_token_secret, consumer_key, secret_key))

On running the program I get the error: name Twitter not defined. When I use from twitter import *, it works. Why is it so?

I am asking this because if i use tweepy instead, a simple import tweepyworks. Also, doesn't import twitter work the same as from twitter import *?

Importing a module does not make all the components inside the module directly visible; you have to prepend the module name as in twitter.Twitter(...). As you noted, using from module import * does make the items inside the module directly visible. — John Gordon

Try twitter.Twitter (auth=OAuth(access_token, access_token_secret, consumer_key, secret_key))
