I've been reading up on packages, but I didn't find anything like that in the documentation, all I found was the meaning of __all__. If I import the modules explicitly there, there's no need to define __all__, unless there are some I don't want to import there, right? Well, I'll try it and see. ;) Steven, thank you for this explanation!
