I'm not sure I agree with that sentiment. Quite a few packages have large __index__.py files. Django routinely puts lots of code there too. Even if people prefer not to put (too much) code in __init__.py, a good compromise might be to put actual implementation code in a separate submodule, and to put things like from submodule import * # submodule.py better define __all__... or from submodule import api1, api2, ... in __init__.py. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
