Given:
python
from module import *By default __dunder__ methods are not imported.
For example:
python
from operator import *Methods like __add__ and __mult__ do not get imported. To access them, do
this instead:
python
import operator
assert operator.__add__(1, 2) == 3
assert operator.__mult__(2, 3) == 6There’s one exception:
Python decides which names to bring into the current namespace based on the module’s
__all__attribute. If__all__is not defined, it defaults to all names that do not start with an underscore (_)
