Stop your users from doing whatever they want

Are you a meanie? Do you feel your users shouldn't be allowed to to use from your_module import * whenever they want?

This is the package for you!

Just pip install disallow-import-star and add this magical lines to your module:

from disallow_import_star import __all__

Would you like to impose your will on other packages?

If you really want your users to stop using import * in other their packages, you can monkey patch your user's favorite packages, like this:

from disallow_import_star import __all__
import math
import numpy
import tkinter


# Why should our users be able to use import * ANYWHERE?
math.__all__ == __all__
numpy.__all__ == __all__
tkinter.__all__ == __all__

Want to control all the packages?

To really upset your import *-using users, run this:

from disallow_import_star

disallow_import_star.disallow_import_star_EVERYWHERE()
