PEP 842: Module Exports

I think it’s a losing battle to want to make it harder for libraries to block internal access. The libraries need do that because it leads to support nightmares. See, for example, Jax’s

jax_internal_only_do_not_use_switch_to_v2_export
jax_internal_only_do_not_use_donotparallel

Besides not exporting the symbols, they gave them ridiculous names as a warning to people who might want to access them.

quoted here for those who didnt read the prior thread: some libraries already protect their internals because it helps with managing supporting users. Is the above really a “zen state”, or something people do because of the absence of something better?
