In Python, there are mainly two types of imports: regular imports, where the entire module is imported using the 'import' keyword, and 'from...import' imports, where specific attributes or functions are imported from a module.
Regular imports are used like 'import module_name' and 'from...import' imports are used as 'from module_name import function_name'. It's important to understand the distinction between these types and their best practices for usage.
