Seaborn - Why import as sns?
PythonSeabornPython Problem Overview
Why do you always import seaborn as sns
and not with the letters of the name as sbn
?
Is sns
an acronym for something?
Or is it some kind of joke?
EDIT:
As cel commented, someone put this as an issue in github.
There they do not answer the question but say that it is a joke related to the original name of the library.
I was unsuccessful in trying to find that original name.
