allset

A small python utility for auto-completing __all__ and binding sub-modules in __init__.py files.

How to Use

Add these lines to the top of your __init__.py.

import allset
allset.set_all_submodules(globals())
allset.bind_all_submodules(globals())
del allset

Now you can reference any sub-module with import mysubmodule or from mysubmodule import SubModClassDef. Additionally, the from mymodule import * will work as though you specified all sub-modules in __all__ manually.

What's it do?

• set_all_submodules sets up you __all__ variable by auto-detecting the files and sub-modules in the current directory.
• bind_all_submodules takes the submodules found in set_all_submodules and applies them to the current namespace.
