Use builtin python function when imported a function of same name

I have imports as the following:

from pyspark.sql.functions import *

Within these there is a filter function in PySpark. How do I use the python filter function instead. Is the only way to import from PySpark the functions I require?

pyspark python

import pyspark.sql.functions as pyr

then just use pyr.filter() to use pyspark filter and filter() to use python builtin

In general it's better to not use '' from .. import * '' because you're losing informations about which library you're using function from, making your code less clear even thought smaller
