github.com/Erotemic/mkinit @1.8.3

The mkinit module helps you write __init__ files without from ? import *.

mkinit automatically imports all submodules in a package and their members.

It can do this dynamically, or it can statically autogenerate the __init__ for faster import times. Its kinda like using the fromimport * syntax, but its easy to replace with text that wont make other developers lose their hair.

Command Line Usage

The following command will statically autogenerate an __init__ file in the specified path or module name. If one exists, it will only replace text after the final comment. This means mkinit wont clobber your custom logic and can be used to help maintain customized __init__.py files.

mkinit <your_modname_or_modpath>

You can also enclose the area allowed to be clobbered in the autogeneration with special xml-like comments.

Python Usage

import mkinit; exec(mkinit.dynamic_init(__name__))
