I think I agree with Serhiy, but I don't think Anders' suggestion is workable since it's very common in __init__.py to do exactly this (import * from local modules in order to re-export them), and you definitely don't want to explitly foo=foo for everything. That's the whole reason you "import *". For example, https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/linalg/__init__.py
