No, you can also import names directly from a package - as long as they
are defined in the __init__.py.  And you can import a package itself.

Here is working code from my Extensions directory that illustrates the
point. "gcm is a __package__, and "code" is a package nested under
"gcm".  gcmdriver is a module in gcm\code.

from gcm.code import gcmdriver
from gcm import BASEPATH

The following also work -

import gcm.code
from gcm import code
