I was considering that too, but I want to be able to have people drop modules in that dir and "be done with it": Not also have them also need to update __all__ in __init__.py Appreciate the suggestion though. My current hacky plan is just query the location on disk of the imported package, then do a dir search for .py files in that dir, and process those. Seems clunky though.
