Importing files in Python from __init__.py

Question

Suppose I have the following structure:

app/
  __init__.py
  foo/
    a.py
    b.py
    c.py
    __init__.py

a.py, b.py and c.py share some

Answer 1

Yes, but don't do it. Seriously, don't. But if you still want to know how to do it, it'd look like this:

import __init__

re = __init__.re
logging = __init__.logging
os = __init__.os

I say not to do it not only because it's messy and pointless, but also because your package isn't really supposed to use __init__.py like that. It's package initialization code.
