importStar - keep you __init__.py files up to date

Imagine...

• you need all modules in a package imported
• ... maybe because you want to access them via inspect.getmembers
• ... or want to do sth. like for module in package: ...

BUT:

• you are to lazy to update all your __init__.py
• you dont want/can't to use automodinit <https://github.com/ned14/automodinit>
• AND/OR you cannot use dynamic imports (maybe because you want to create an application with pyinstaller)

THAN: this might be your solution!

install

via pip

pip install importStar

ubuntu or simular

sudo python setup.py install

windows

python setup.py install

usage

either: * use as a script: importstar [directorypath]

• to see help: run importstar without further arguments or with -h or --help
• OR call function importStar.importstar.run(args) directly

result

importstar add all modules and packages recursively within a given directory

in all __init__.py files that have the following comments:

#<<<importStar
[i will be substitued]
#>>>importStar

the result might look like:

#<<<importStar
import mod1
import mod2
import pkg1
#>>>importStar
