Message 146572 - Python tracker

Let's deprecate some of these (or add deprecation warnings) for
upcoming release.  But, doing from xxx import * is not a recommended
way for any module, as we know that it stands to pollute the namespace
with unneccesary functions/methods. I would be careful in adding
anything to __all__ and if done, may go for only 3.3. Ezio has a valid
point.
