I was writing a small personal library and adding new modules all the time so I wrote a shell script to look for scripts and create the __init__.py's. The script is executed just outside of the main directory for my package, pylux.

I know it probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but it servered its purpose for me and it might be useful to someone else, too.

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Traversing folder hierarchy...'

CWD=`pwd`


for directory in `find pylux -type d -exec echo {} \;`;
do
    cd $directory
    #echo Entering $directory
    echo -n "" > __init__.py

    for subdirectory in `find . -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1`;
    do
        subdirectory=`echo $subdirectory | cut -b 3-`
        #echo -n '    ' ...$subdirectory
        #echo -e '\t->\t' import $subdirectory
        echo import $subdirectory >> __init__.py
    done

    for pyfile in *.py ;
    do
        if [ $pyfile = $(echo __init__.py) ]; then
            continue
        fi
        #echo -n '    ' ...$pyfile
        #echo -e '\t->\t' import `echo $pyfile | cut -d . -f 1`
        echo import `echo $pyfile | cut -d . -f 1` >> __init__.py
    done
    cd $CWD

done


for directory in `find pylux -type d -exec echo {} \;`;
do
    echo $directory/__init__.py:
    cat $directory/__init__.py | awk '{ print "\t"$0 }'
done
