[Python] Export module components in Python

In Julia, it is possible to export a function (or a variable, struct, etc.) of a module, after which it can be called in another script without the namespace (once it has been imported). For example:

# helpers.jl
module helpers

function ordinary_function()
# bla bla bla
end

function exported_function()
# bla bla bla
end

export exported_function()
end


# main.jl
include("helpers.jl")
using .helpers

# we have to call the non-exported function with namespace
helpers.ordinary_function()

# but we can call the exported function without namespace
exported_function()


In Python, is there something I can do within the module, so that when the module is imported, the "exported" components can be called directly?
