Something else must be importing those modules when run from pylons. If you really want to know how they are getting imported, stick something in the module which will raise an exception when it is imported (eg type "blah blah blah" at the top of the module) and look at the traceback.

Basically, calling Base.create_all() in some init_db method of an application works without having to import all the modules in, say, myapp.models.__init__.py Suggestions are welcome, though i'm considering the question answered Thanks alot and Regards, On Mar 30, 4:39 pm, "King Simon-NFHD78" <simon.k...@motorolasolutions.com> wrote: > This is just the way Python works - code inside a module is only > executed when that module is imported.
