Clarifying what constitutes an internal interface in a way that doesn't require renaming anything is a necessary prerequisite for bundling or bootstrapping the pip CLI in Python 3.4 (as pip exposes its internal implemetnation API as "import pip" rather than "import _pip" and renaming it would lead to a lot of pointless code churn). Without that concern, the topic never would have come up.
BTW, how does the use of __all__ effect things? Somewhere I got the idea that if a module uses __all__ then anything not listed is internal. I take it that is wrong?
Gah, you're right. I did consider that, then forgot to include it in the proposed text. Rather than throwing more versions of the text at the list, I'll create a tracker issue and post a proposed patch for PEP 8. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
