Description

Nearly the entire implementation of the proton python binding is in _init_.py (except for the reactive API). This has several unfortunate effects:

• It can be hard to find your way around the source except by simply searching.
• There is no way to restrict the export of symbols from the proton module - anything in the module can be explicitly imported (although _all_ does restrict what gets imported with from proton import *).
