Python: modules and packaging - why isn't __init__.py file executed before __main__.py?

Question

I have a python program that is entirely contained in a directory with the following structure:

myprog/
├── __init__.py
├── __main__.py
├── moduleone.py
└──          


        

Answer 1

So, having looked at the other responses and not being thrilled, I tried:

from __init__ import *

from my __main__.py file.

I suppose it doesn't allow you to refer to the module by name, but for simple cases it seems to work.
