To play with this I created a directory 'delmepy' in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ and gave it the following structure:
$ ls -R /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/delmepy
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/delmepy:
__init__.py mod2.py subp
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/delmepy/subp:
__init__.py mod3.py
Both __init__.py's are empty, mod2.py looks like this:
def banana(n):
print n
and mod3.py looks like this:
import delmepy.mod2
delmepy.mod2.banana(23)
The following (at the interactive prompt) worked fine:
>>> import delmepy.subp.mod3
23
I would assume (but I haven't checked) that this should work as long as
delmepy (in your case PackageFolder) was somewhere on sys.path.
