How does requests module work?

Question

I'm looking at the requests module, and I don't understand how the method requests.get() can be invoked.

In the root directory of requests module, there is api.py module that has method get(url, **kwargs) . Then, how come I don't have to do requests.api.get() to invoke it?

Line #60 of https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/master/requests/__init__.py should make it clear. Basically the reason you don't have to explicitly import it or declare it is because it's already being abstracted away for you.
