Managing Imports With Python's __all__
Real Python
EDITOR BRIEF
Python's __all__ variable helps control what gets imported with a wildcard import. It also defines which names a module or package presents as its public API, helping you choose what to expose.
INSIGHTS
This matters because it helps you write cleaner, easier-to-use modules. A good next step is to practice setting __all__ in a small package and compare it with normal imports.
