If your package is not a so called "namespace package" (this is a package components of which are stored in different places and can be installed independent from one another), then I see no reason not to put code into `__init__.py`. When I transform a module into a package, I start by using the former module as the new package's `__init__.py`. Later refactoring steps may move things out into separate modules/subpackages. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
