New submission from Nick Guenther:
Python3's docs given by
help(import)
duplicate these two paragraphs:
The *public names* defined by a module are determined by checking the
module's namespace for a variable named ``__all__``; if defined, it
must be a sequence of strings which are names defined or imported by
that module. The names given in ``__all__`` are all considered public
and are required to exist. If ``__all__`` is not defined, the set of
public names includes all names found in the module's namespace which
do not begin with an underscore character (``'_'``). ``__all__``
should contain the entire public API. It is intended to avoid
accidentally exporting items that are not part of the API (such as
library modules which were imported and used within the module).
The ``from`` form with ``*`` may only occur in a module scope.
Attempting to use it in class or function definitions will raise a
``SyntaxError``.
(full output attached for proof)
Digging through the sources, I can't find where this is defined. The python2 on
my system has the same two paragraphs but they are *not* duplicated there, and
in the sources, which admittedly I don't know my way around,
Doc/reference/simple_stmts.rst contains these paragraphs but only once each,
and grep seems to imply this is the source of them.
Did sphinx screw up somewhere between your hg and my distro mirror?
