Question

I have a package in my project containing many *.py source files (each consisting of one class in most cases, and named by the class). I would like it so that when this package is imported, all of the files in the package are also imported, so that I do not have to write

import Package.SomeClass.SomeClass
import Package.SomeOtherClass.SomeOtherClass
import ...

just to import every class in the package. Instead I can just write

import Package

and every class is available in Package, so that later code in the file can be:

my_object = Package.SomeClass()

What’s the easiest way of doing this in __init__.py? If different, what is the most general way of doing this?

Answer 1

The usual method is inside package/__init__.py

from .SomeClass import SomeClass
