Nimp (Nested Imports) is a little meta-importer hook for Python 2.3-2.7 and 3.0-3.2 that enables the use of *nested packages* (`com.ibm.foo.bar`), as is commonplace in Java and various other languages. It works by collecting all packages that begin with a common prefix on your `sys.path` and "merging" them into logical packages.
Homepage: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nimp Install: pip install nimp Example ------- Consider the following package layout (say, under site-packages, or anywhere on your python path): site-packages/ com-ibm-storage/ ... package files ... com-ibm-storage-plugins/ ... package files ... com-google-protobuf/ ... package files ... com-google-appengine/ ... package files ... Using Nimp is easy: import nimp nimp.install() You can place these two lines in your `site.py`; after calling `nimp.install()`, the following imports will "magically" work: import com # a namespace package (empty) import com.google.protobuf import com.ibm.storage from com.ibm.storage.plugins import MySQLPlugin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
