module imports and __init__.py in Python

Question

I am trying to understand what the best practices are with regards to Python\'s (v2.7) import mechanics. I have a project that has started to grow a bit and lets say my code

Answer 1

Try this:

package1

package1.py

__init__.py

package2

test.py

package1.py:-

class abc:
    a = 'hello'
    def print_a(self):
    print(a)

__init__.py:-

from .package1 import abc

package2.py:-

From package1.package1 import abc

I use these __init__.py to import from a package.
