What is __phello__ for in Python 3?

I imported __phello__ in the terminal:

>>> import __phello__
Hello world!

What is __phello__ for? Or is it just an Easter Egg?

It is just an Easter Egg in Python. The file can be found here and here, one of them is a helper file, the other one is the module.

It’s a joke, it makes for a notably short hello world program in a vanilla installation. This is a thing that some people can get very competitive about...
