# SIFR-IMPORT-0008: Bare CPython-style stdlib import attempt.

> Bare CPython-style stdlib import attempt.

`SIFR-IMPORT-0008` belongs to the **Imports and module resolution** diagnostic family. It means: bare CPython-style stdlib import attempt.

## Why It Happens

Module import or path resolution failed. Check module paths, visibility, ambiguous imports, and supported import forms.

<Info>
  Use `sifr --explain SIFR-IMPORT-0008` locally to see the renderer's exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.

## Erroneous Code

```python theme={null}
from math import sqrt
```

## How To Fix It

Use Sifr's explicit module namespace and import concrete symbols with `from sifr.&lt;module&gt; import &lt;name&gt;`.

## Fixed Code

```python theme={null}
from sifr.math import sqrt
```
