When a module is first loaded, it's compiled to bytecode and then executed. Importing a non existing function will throw an error right away.

It's not a compilation error but it does feel like one, somewhat. It happens at more or less the same time.

Yes, that works if you do:

    from foo import nonexistent

but if you do:

    import foo

    foo.nonexistent()

You get a run time error.

A lot of the time with Python you will be importing classes so it will be mostly run time errors.
