New submission from Thomas Heller:

The documentation states that 'from module import *' imports all symbols that 
are listed in the module's __all__ list.
In Python 3, unlike Python 2, only symbols that do NOT start with an underscore 
are actually imported.

The following code works in Python 2.7, but raises a NameError
in Python 3.5:
python -c "from ctypes.wintypes import *; print(_ULARGE_INTEGER)"
