Python: Import all modules from package

Question

There is a package. In the package's __init__.py there is __all__ defined which contains name of every module in package. If I then use

from package import *

will it import every module of that package so I can reference them by name?

Is it possible in Python to import every package's module with from x import * statement?

Yes it would work but generally not suggested. refer [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2386714/why-is-import-bad) for why — Ramkumar Bangaru, Oct 05 '20 at 11:48

Yes. But because of "namespace pollution" (not knowing which imported module you actually use because perhaps several of them have the same name), it is not recommended.
