I tried to verify this (the fact that modules get imported with
help('modules')). Here are the results:
* Lib/foobar.py:
- help('modules'): foobar in the list, code is *not* executed;
- help('foobar'): code is executed;
* Lib/deleteme/__init__.py:
- help('modules'): deleteme in the list, code is executed;
- help('deleteme'): code is executed;
* Lib/deleteme/__init__.py and Lib/deleteme/foobar.py:
- help('modules'): deleteme in the list, only __init__ code is executed;
- help('deleteme.foobar'): foobar code is executed;
So it seems the only code that gets executed with help('modules') is the one in
packages' __init__s. It also seems that the code is executed only once, so
doing help('deleteme') after help('modules') doesn't execute the code again.
