Two modules:

Now from the python command line:

['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
'x', 'y']
I do not understand why class 'x' shows up here.
Because that's how `import` behaves. It imports *every* member of the
module into the importing module's global namespace (except for
attributes that start with an underscore).
You can specify the attributes that shall be import with a star-import
by settings __all__. In your case, you would add `__all__ = ['y']` to y.py.
