Hi,
a suggestion to make this process easier:
a folder could be created called `models`. The `models.py` could then moved
into that folder and renamed to `__init__.py`. That way, all the other parts
of airflow can be left untouched - it is still possible to run
`from models import <something>`
In the next steps, classes can be moved out of the now called `__init__.py`
into separate files. The 'moved' class then needs to be imported in
`__init__.py` - to not affect the rest of airflow.
Example: move class `User` to `models/user.py`. In `models/__init__.py` add
`from .user import User`.
What do you think?
