The original developer may also have been unaware of the ability to
limit a * import through the use of __all__.
from alienmodule import AlienClass
__all__ = ['MyClass']
class MyClass(AlienClass):
do_stuff()
Of course, this is really only useful if you're doing "from module
import *" which is generally discouraged inside actual code.
