Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I thnk the glossary should say both.  Approximately: "When the first statement of a program starts 'from __future__ import feature', a pseudo-module ... . When used later in a program, <link> __future__ is a real module."  Link each statement to an appropriate place in the doc.
