Essentially, yes. If you want to just dispense with it __all__together
(=:-o), you can textually replace __all__ with ___all__ in each of the
standard library modules:
cd /usr/local/lib/python2.1
for f in *.py ; do
sed -e 's/___*all__/___all__/g' < $f > $f.tmp
mv $f.tmp $f
done
Note that I didn't touch any files in directories under the basic Lib
directory.

It has nothing to do with module compilation. The contents of __all__ are a
static thing in the text of the .py file, and thusfar almost entirely due to
me studying the inputs at hand and making a decision about what belonged and
what didn't. Some python-dev people caught ommissions and added them before
the 2.1 release. Other than that, the mistakes are all mine.
I had some misgivings about the whole thing during the midst of the task and
still do, but grumbled once and completed it.
