How to use __all__ ?

I have a module, x.py, containing
__all__ = ('a',)
a = 3
b = 5
Now I run Python:
Python 2.2 (#1, Feb 10 2002, 19:16:58)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import x
>>> x.a
3
>>> x.b
5
>>> x.__all__
('a',)
What's the story? I thought b was supposed to be invisible, since
it doesn't appear in x's __all__ list. Is there some other way to
get that effect?
Thanks.
