creating module in python - how imports work

I'm creating a module in a python app, I have my primary code file, and I want to import some helper methods/classes from a helper folder. This is what I have for my folder structure:

module:
  __init__.py
  helpers:
    __init__.py
    some_class.py

this is module/helpers/__init__.py file:

  from .some_class import SomeClass

  def helper_method_1():
    # code

  def helper_method_2():
    # code

so my question is: is importing SomeClass inside module/helpers/__init__.py inside the helpers enough to use it as in import in my main module/__init.py file?

this is what I'm trying in my module/__init__.py

from .helpers import (SomeClass, helper_method_1, helper_method_2)

I'm kind of in the middle of doing a bunch of things, so can't test it for errors at the moment

Yes, it is enough.

Unless module has __all__ variable, all names (including names imported from other modules) are exported.
