Exporting glob imports from stubs #167
Description
It turns out that it is often necessary to reexport an entire module under a different name.
This could use glob imports, but that doesn't work in stubs since there is no from foo import * as * syntax.
For discussion, see: python/typeshed#21 and specifically o11c/typeshed@d7bf7eb#commitcomment-14039404

We can make
from m import *a special case and export all public names imported that way automatically from a stub. I can't come up with another use case wherefrom ... import *in a stub would be that useful. Mypy actually already works like this.gvanrossum commentedon Oct 30, 2015
OK, this sounds fine. Shall I update the PEP?

from ... import ... as ...does exports too.gvanrossum commentedon Oct 30, 2015
