autoxinit 0.1.2

automodinit + X

This package extends the the py-package ‘automodinit’ with the option also to import classes and functions inside a module.

If classes/functions have the same name as modules they will override them. This is useful if the ‘one class/function per file’ principle is used

autoXinit is listed in the Python Package Index. You can install it typing ‘pip install autoxinit’.

• Fork the code on github

• Find the original http://pypi.python.org/pypi/automodinit

To init your package with autoXinit add the following to your __init__.py:

__all__ = []
# Don't modify the line above, or this line!
from autoxinit import autoxinit
autoxinit(__name__, __file__, globals())
del autoxinit

autoXinit also provides a test package. Importing this module via:

from autoxinit import test

1. Execute the test environment

2. Imports all modules AND all included (dummy) functions/classes. If a function/class share the same same with its parent module calling the modules name leeds to the function/class.

File structure of the test package:

• testClass.py

  • class testClass

• testFunction.py

  • def testFunction

• testModule.py

  • class testModuleClass

  • def testModuleFunction

Instead of typing:

from test.testClass import testClass
from test.testFunction import testFunction

You can import your classes/functions directly via:

from test import testClass
from test import testFunction

As written before the imported names are only overridden if the name of a class/function is identical to the name of the module. That’s why you can still access:

from test import testModule
from testModule import testModuleClass
from testModule import testModuleFunction
