STINNER Victor added the comment:

Seting __all__ is usually need to exclude some symbols from "from module import 
*". In Python, it's common to write public or private (name prefixed by "_") 
helper functions which are excluded from __all__. In C extensions, you have to 
explicitly expose a function. Why would you expose a function but exclude it 
from __all__?
