Importing * From a Package

Reading through the Python tutorial, I got to section 6.4.1, "Importing * From a Package", which states: "If __all__ is not defined, the statement from Sound.Effects import * does not import all submodules from the package Sound.Effects into the current namespace; ..." It then goes on to state:
