@public and @private

This library provides two very simple decorators that document the public visibility of the names in your module. They keep your module’s __all__ in sync so you don’t have to.

Also included is a function that you can put at the bottom of your module to simply infer all the public names, and populate the __all__ for you.

Installation

$ pip install atpublic

The install extra additionally installs @public and @private into builtins, so they’re always available without having to import them first:

$ pip install atpublic[install]

Note that while the top-level module is named public, the PyPI package is called atpublic due to a name conflict. Do not install public; that is a different package!
