Yes, Benjamin, you can merge those two import statements into a single one using Python's import syntax. Here’s how you can do it:

python
Copy
from a import b, d

However, this will import the modules b and d from a, but not the specific attributes c and e. If you want to import c from a.b and e from a.d in a single line, you cannot do it directly. You would still need two lines, but you can write them more concisely like this:

python
Copy
from a.b import c; from a.d import e

But this is not recommended for readability. The standard and most readable way is to keep them as two separate lines, as you originally wrote.

If you want to import multiple attributes from the same module, you can do:

python
Copy
from a.b import c, f, g  # if c, f, g are all in a.b

But for your case, since c and e are in different submodules, you need two import statements.
