What happens if you do this, and then include "~f" in __all__, and then import * from that module? I personally would rather have my prefixes or suffixes available in every module that imports them, without needing to manually register them each time. Not a huge deal, and if nobody else agrees, fine. But if I could __all__ it, I could get what I want anyway. :) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/SPS3KQGRUWRVSRLUG2CFX6QYRK4SKCU6/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
