[Python-Dev] okay to remove argparse.all? (original) (raw)

I think the easiest and most sensible way to address http://bugs.python.org/issue9353 is to simply remove the all definition from argparse - everything that doesn't start with an underscore in the module is already meant to be exposed.

But then I wonder - is all considered part of the public API of a module? Or is it okay to just remove it and assume that no one should have been accessing it directly anyway?
