How can we go to package inside package when outer package is imported in python

Question

Can anyone help me with a question, if a python package is imported can we directly import package inside another package in package?

Lets say a python pkg structure is like:

   module
   |__ module1
   |   |__ __init__.py
   |   |__ pyScript1.py
   |   |__ pyScript2.py
   |__ __init__.py

Then is a python script if we have a script like import module Can we call the pyScript1 using module.pyScript1 without importing module1?

I know this will work by adding all in module > init .py file and add the module1 sub packages in it. but when I run dir(module) I can see module1 in the list. But I don't want to see module1 in dir list.

Can anyone help with this?

EDIT:

What if instead of 'module1' if we have multiple version modules in 'module' like '1_0_0, 1_1_0, 2_0_0,...etc' and we maintain and environmental variable MODULE_VERSION=1.1.0 and according to the version specified we need to refer to that particular version module.

The answer, is dependent what you have declared to be initialized in the package __init__.py . if you import the pyScript1.py in the __init__.py then the answer yes and if no then the answer is no .

dunder all __all__ :

dunder all is good tool for controlling what to export from our module when we got imported (our module not the package).

Answer 2

inside module/__init__.py file write

from  .module1 import pyScript1 
__all__ =['pyScript1']
