I have a structure like this :
foo/__init__.py
foo/bar/__init__.py
foo/bar/firstmodule.py
foo/abc/__init__.py
foo/abc/secondmodule.py
now i have some variables (paths to data files) common, to be used in first module and second modules respectively.
can i set those variables in foo/__init__.py so that i can access them by foo.mypath1 in first and second submodule class definitions? if not anyother way out ?
regards,
KM

it tells Python that the directory is a package directory. if you have
mydir/foo/__init__.py
mydir/foo/module.py
and mydir is on the path, you can do "import foo.module" or "from foo
import module". if you remove the __init__.py file, Python will no
longer look for submodules inside that directory.

it's usually empty, or used to export selected portions of the package
under more convenient names. given the example above, the contents of
the __init__ module can be accessed via:
import foo
