How should I indent the import of many classes from single module

Question

If I need import some Class1, Class2, ... , ClassN from module module, how should I indent it?

from module import (
    Class1,
    Class2,
    ...
    ClassN
)

or maybe

from module import (
    Class1, Class2, ...,
    ..., ClassN
)

Can't find any information in PEP specification.

As long as you're consistent, any of the line continuation styles from the PEP is OK. One per line will take up a lot of vertical space, though. — jonrsharpe, Aug 12 '14 at 07:28

If the number of classes you import is higher, you should consider importing only their parent module, and access the classes through it, like:

import module

module.Class1
module.Class2

On the other hand, if there really aren't that many classes, but still exceeds the 80 char limit, I usually import using the following style:

from module import (Class1,
                    Class2,
                    Class3,
                    Class4)
