Hi,

Hi,

...

I have a package structured like this:

package/__init__.py   src/ __init__.py          mod1.py   share/__init__.py            mod2.py

Now I can import them as: package.src.mod1 package.share.mod2

How can I use Distutils to be able to import both of them under the same "package" namespace as:

import package.mod1 import package.mod2

unrelated to Distutils but,

What you can do is add these line in package/__init__.py :

  from package.src import mod1   from package.share import mod2

Beware though, that this means the modules will be loaded even if "import package" is called, which could have some unwanted side effects depending on the code.

This does not work. You cannot "import package.mod1" under this scenario.

Right, only "from package import mod1" works. Not sure why you want to remove the __init__.py files in sub and share in your solution though. -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
