How to do multiple imports in Python?

In Ruby, instead of repeating the "require" (the "import" in Python) word lots of times, I do

%w{lib1 lib2 lib3 lib4 lib5}.each { |x| require x }

So it iterates over the set of "libs" and "require" (import) each one of them. Now I'm writing a Python script and I would like to do something like that. Is there a way to, or do I need to write "import" for all of them.

The straight-forward "traduction" would be something like the following code. Anyway, since Python does not import libs named as strings, it does not work.

requirements = [lib1, lib2, lib3, lib4, lib5]
for lib in requirements:
    import lib

Thanks in advance

if you want multi-line:

from englishapps.multiple.mainfile import (
    create_multiple_,
    get_data_for_multiple
)

I just learned from a coworker today that, according to the PEP 8 Style Guide, imports in Python should actually be written on separate lines:

import os
import sys

The style guide calls import sys, os wrong.
