    Please read https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/[PEP 8] and use
    that style.  The only PEP 8 style rule we relax is that you may
    specify multiple module names in an import rather than going strictly
    with one per line.  The point is to encourage you to group your import
    declarations in informative ways.

Therefor, you need not fix this one category of POP8 violation.  If
you think you can rearrange imports to make groups of them more
coherent, go ahead and do that.
