Python: import every module from a folder?

Question

What would be the best (read: cleanest) way to tell Python to import all modules from some folder?

I want to allow people to put their \"mods\" (modules) in a folder

Answer 1

Create a file named

 __init__.py

inside the folder and import the folder name like this:

>>> from  import * #Try to avoid importing everything when you can
>>> from  import module1,module2,module3 #And so on
