Python - Ideas for __init__.py

Important read: The Cost of Small Modules

• The import __init__ statement should only be inside the ifmain - Test() part of the code

• Once imported the __init__ file should work for all folders, that is, it should set up rules for the import system to follow in the more general way possible, like:

  • All files and folders in from the root folder down should be loaded in the sys.modules as Lazy_pyFolder(the folders) and Lazy_pyFile
  • The builtins.__import__ function has to be re-written to allow smart relative imports.

Have to decide if a Lazy_pyFile once called changes type to a function or not

• Also have to decide if i want the Lazy_pyFile class or prefer to modify again how the builtins.__import__ works to allow the automatic switch once the module it’s imported

This one looks good

modify the builtins.__import__ such that if the module to be imported is a Lazy_pyFile import it as a function or a module

• Function if it has a callable with the same name
• Module if it does not
