* For 2, the correct statement for expected behavior is `t = ('one',)` or `t = 'one',` (missing comma) otherwise the interpreter considers `t` to be a `str` and iterates over it character by character.

### ▶ Wild imports
```py
# File: module.py
def some_weird_name_func_():
print("works!")
def _another_weird_name_func():
print("works!")
```
**Output**
```py
>>> from module import *
>>> some_weird_name_func_()
"works!"
>>> _another_weird_name_func()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name '_another_weird_name_func' is not defined
```
#### 💡 Explanation:
- It if often adivsable to not use wildcard imports. In wildcard imports, the names with leading underscore are be imported. This may lead to errors in runtime.
- Had we used `from ... import a, b, c` syntax, the above `NameError` won't have occurred.
```py
>>> from module import some_weird_name_func_, _another_weird_name_func
>>> _another_weird_name_func()
works!
```
- If you really want to use wildcard imports, then you'd have to define the list `__all__` in your module that will contain a list of public objects that'll be available when we do wildcard imports.
```py
__all__ = ['_another_weird_name_func']
def some_weird_name_func_():
print("works!")
def _another_weird_name_func():
print("works!")
```
**Output**
```py
>>> _another_weird_name_func()
"works!"
>>> some_weird_name_func_()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'some_weird_name_func_' is not defined
