A packaging utility to treat folders as packages
Project description
Packagify
A packaging utility to access folders that aren't suitable to be used as packages, as python packages.
How to use
from packagify import Packagify
package = Packagify("/home/workspace/my_package")
object = package.import_module("module", ["object"])
object1, object2 = package.import_module("module", ["object1", "object2"])
How this works
-
This class overrides the import functionality of python while importing the module.
-
When the package tries to import certain modules from it's directory assuming the script ran from there, we change the level of import from absolute to relative.
-
If a module adds a system path (using sys.path.append) we change the path to reflect the location of the module relative to the location from where we are loading the entire pacakage.
-
-
After importing we revert back the functions to originals so that rest of the importing can work as is
