What happen if you use the __all__ variable?

[nealpy]

if we use __all__ over etree initialize then context will be little bit changed as far core behavior of this package - as all the sub-libraries(etree etc.) are already available in global name-space by __all__ in __init__.py of xml package. I know if we can introduce __all__ from here then we can use from xml.etree import *;ElementTree.somemethod - Do you think to introduce this technique will be better approach comparing the current PR solution? Let me know accordingly i'll make the changes over PR
