Hi. I have code that currently depends on a particular package of a
framework. I have decided I want to create my own package because I have
made many changes and it is getting too difficult to maintain each time
I retrieve an updated version of the framework from svn.
The problem is, that there are all sorts of imports to the dependent
package throughout my code and I just want to replace this module with
something that will provide a reference to my own package without
changing the original imports. So it just needs to point to the new
package so that the original imports in my code will continue to work.
For example, here is a package structure.
dependentpackage
|
+---- __init__.py
+---- somemodule.py
+---- somefolder
|
+---- __init__.py
+---- somesubmodule.py
+---- someotherfolder
etc ....
I simply want the dependentpackage to point to the new package leaving
no more than an init file or whatever would have to be minimally
required to make this work
dependentpackage
|
+---- __init__.py
mypackage
|
+---- __init__.py
+---- somemodule.py
+---- somefolder
|
+---- __init__.py
+---- somesubmodule.py
+---- someotherfolder
etc ....
I my code I still need to have this work:
from dependentpackage.somemodule import something
- but I want the package to be getting the code from the new module.
I'd appreciate hearing of what I can do in an __init__ file or what
other strategy could make this work. Many thanks.
Regards,
David
