What should you write into the __init__.py file? 2MinutesPy
In this video, we will discuss what code and data you can put into your __init__.py file in Python.
You know without this file, Python won't recognize the directory as a package, and you won't be able to import its modules. So, the question is, “What to include” in your __init__.py file?
Well, the list is endless, but here are something you can include:
Import specific functions and submodules
Code that you want to execute when the package is initialized
_all_ variable to control the functions and variable imported when someone uses wildcard import statement
Module's information
Logging capability
Environment variables
External connections
and much more...
