Python: How to import from an __init__.py file?
The init.py files are automatically imported when you import the package they are in. For example, say the init.py is in a package called foo. When you import foo
import foofrom foo import *import foo as ...
the init file gets called. And are you using python 2 or 3? If you are using python 3, you will need to use dynamic imports:
from * import __init__
In general, it is a bad practice to import from init, I would suggest trying to place this code in another file in the package.
