Funny you should mention that:
 revision 1.92
 date: 2004年06月11日 04:46:12; author: montanaro; state: Exp; lines: +22 -9
 Respect a module's __all__ attribute. Closes #969938.
and the corresponding output since then for the keyword module looks like:
 NAME
 keyword - Keywords (from "graminit.c")
 FILE
 /Users/skip/local/lib/python2.4/keyword.py
 MODULE DOCS
 http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-keyword.html
 DESCRIPTION
 This file is automatically generated; please don't muck it up!
 To update the symbols in this file, 'cd' to the top directory of
 the python source tree after building the interpreter and run:
 python Lib/keyword.py
 FUNCTIONS
 iskeyword = __contains__(...)
 x.__contains__(y) <==> y in x.
 DATA
 __all__ = ['iskeyword', 'kwlist']
 kwlist = ['and', 'assert', 'break', 'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del',...
while the output using Python 2.3 is
 NAME
 keyword - Keywords (from "graminit.c")
 FILE
 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/keyword.py
