If your package is in pythons path, all it should need is an empty
__init__.py file in the package and also in the sub package Filters also.
If your program is a stand alone program that may be installed someplace
not in pythons sys.path, then I've been using a some what different model.
I'm not sure what others think of it yet, but it's working well for me.
[karoki_program_dir] (may not be in pythons sys.path)
karoki.py
[lib]
[tests]
__init__.py
(unit tests here)
[filters]
__init__.py
(various filters here)
(other local modules/packages here)
And in karoki.py add the local lib directory to the front of sys.path
before your local module imports.
lib = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(__file__, '..', 'lib'))
sys.path.insert(0, lib)
This also makes sure it's the program location path, and not the current
console directory.
For running tests, I use a command line option.
python karoki.py --test
Cheers,
Ron
