Dear all,
I am building a library package of the form:
rootlib
---__init__
---subpackage1
------__init__
------sub1module1
------sub1module2
------...
---subpackage2
------ __init__
------sub2module1
------sub2module2
------...
My rootlib.__init__ file contains:
__name__ = ...
__version__ = ...
__author__ = ...
__author_email__= ...
__url__ = ...
__description__ = ...
import subpackage1
import subpackage2
__all__ = []
__all__.extend(['subpackage1','subpackage2'])
My question is the following: I need to import an external package,
say numpy, for use in various submodules. So far, I simply do an import
numpy as _numpy where needed, say sub1module1 and sub2module2. This
means that I import this package a number of times which doesn't seem to
be a logical thing to do (?). In the end, I would like to make this
module a "global" module for my library.
I have a similar package structure and after writing a few submodules, I
developed a template that includes common text, including a couple of
imports that are usually needed. I also made a backup copy of the
template in case I open the template and forget to 'save as
<submodule-name>' before just 'save'ing ;-).
If I had several such imports, and thought the list might expand, I
might make one submodule for imports and then do 'from rootlib.util
import importmod as m' in the template. But I have no need now for such.
