Dear all, I am building a library package of the form:
rootlib ---__init__ ---subpackage1 ------__init__ ------sub1module1 ------sub1module2 ------... ---subpackage2 ------ __init__ ------sub2module1 ------sub2module2 ------... My rootlib.__init__ file contains: __name__ = ... __version__ = ... __author__ = ... __author_email__= ... __url__ = ... __description__ = ... import subpackage1 import subpackage2 __all__ = [] __all__.extend(['subpackage1','subpackage2']) My question is the following: I need to import an external package, say numpy, for use in various submodules. So far, I simply do an import numpy as _numpy where needed, say sub1module1 and sub2module2. This means that I import this package a number of times which doesn't seem to be a logical thing to do (?). In the end, I would like to make this module a "global" module for my library. I would find it more practical to simply do this import in the __init__ of rootlib and then use it directly in the submodules as rootlib._numpy calls, but I'm not sure exactly how to do this because it would mean that I would have to do an import rootlib in my subpackages which doesn't sound so good... Can anyone give me a hint ? Cheers, Auré
