I've seen many (python) "plugins" (some located in site-packages [windows

What's their use?
class foo:
        def __init__:
                print "this starts first"
        def foo1():
                print "this comes later. Init initializes the chain of functions in this
class

Now, i've never used a program (i can't seem to grasp all the self, and
other things in OOP yet) with __init__ but I know what __init__ does in a
class, not as a file name.
I'm asking this out of curiosity, not for help.

__init__.py will be executed when a package is imported.
