Saager,
As per python module-import semantics, sub-modules don't end up as names in
the
package-module[*] unless explicitly added.

I didn't get it, what you mean by package-module[*] ?.

--------------------------

One simple test.

dir(json) showing the module "tool" after "from json import tool", but that
module not in json.__all__ list.

>>>
>>>* import json*
>>>
>>>
>>> *dir(json)*
['JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder', '__all__', '__author__', '__builtins__',
'__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__',
'__version__', '_default_decoder', '_default_encoder', 'decoder', 'dump',
'dumps', 'encoder', 'load', 'loads', 'scanner']
>>>
>>>
>>>* json.__all__*
['dump', 'dumps', 'load', 'loads', 'JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder']
>>>
>>>
>>> *from json import tool*
>>>
>>>
>>> dir(json)
['JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder', '__all__', '__author__', '__builtins__',
'__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__',
'__version__', '_default_decoder', '_default_encoder', 'decoder', 'dump',
'dumps', 'encoder', 'load', 'loads', 'scanner', *'tool'*]
>>>
>>>
>>> *json.__all__*
['dump', 'dumps', 'load', 'loads', 'JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder']
>>>
>>>
