NB: Demonstrations of Import and init.py()

Demo 1: Empty __init__.py

import demo_package1.module1 as d1m

d1m.welcome1()

Hi, I'm from Demo 1!

from demo_package1.module1 import welcome1

welcome1()

Hi, I'm from Demo 1!

Demo 2: Edited __init__.py

You can allow the users to import a module function directly from a package by simply adding:

from package.module import func # or class

or

from .module import func # or class

to your __init__.py file.

For example, our Demo2 __init__().py contains:

from demo_package2.module2 import welcome2

This allows me to do this:

import demo_package2 as d2

d2.welcome2()

Hi, I'm from Demo 2!

Or this:

from demo_package2 import welcome2

welcome2()

Hi, I'm from Demo 2!
