Why does this change __name__?

>>> print __name__
__main__
>>> from sqlalchemy.sql import *
>>> print __name__
sqlalchemy.sql

It is often bad practice to import *, but still a module should not
impact __name__ unless really necessary.
Primary side effect is you can no longer use

if __name__ == '__main__':
    <do something>

Of course you could do something like this:

oldname = __name__
from sqlalchemy.sql import *
__name__ = oldname
