Managing Python Imports with __all__
Real Python
EDITOR BRIEF
Python’s __all__ variable controls what gets imported when someone uses a wildcard import, like from module import *. It also helps define which names a module or package presents as part of its public API.
INSIGHTS
If you’re building Python modules, __all__ can make your code easier to use and less confusing. Try adding it to a small package and see how it changes wildcard imports.
