Confusion on "from . import views" [Django Basics]

Read the title ^

I can't see the difference between:

from . import views

and:

import views

Can somebody explain the difference please? Thanks!

@Alexander Davison from . means the current directory (like url.py) import views your pulling info from views.py I'll put a youtube link that explains it better and a django link for more info
