This looks ugly, and that's because it is! Rather it simply exposes the ugliness that was hidden behind the star imports.

Goals for this PR:

  • Remove all star imports
  • Zero functional changes

Note: this PR will not attempt to remove duplicate imports, but it allows static analyzers to potentially solve gh-10198 with another PR.

This was done by looking at __all__?

Okay, I'm +1 on merging as-is assuming I haven't made any mistakes. The idea is to allow static analyzers to work their magic in a future PR to remove duplicates.

In this case I'm not convinced that changing the __init__ files improves them, they are far less readable; ugly, actually. I think our position here is that every module should have __all__ defined, and that should limit what comes in with the *.

This is a temporary step to remove the star imports, which are not recommended. It's always possible to remove the extra globals in a future PR (which I may do), but the star imports need to be removed first.

I'd argue we should be trying to remove duplicates from __all__, not from the list of things we import.

Your tool is wrong here:
https://github.com/xoviat/dewildcard/blob/b3e70e450ced2b591130d20a62522fa4633fe2cb/dewildcard.py#L35

That isn't looking at __all__ to decide what * imports, which it should

@eric-wieser Thanks for the suggestions. However, I won't be working on this further until I can replace all of the star imports.
