'Python Package Creation
I have a package i am trying to create. The directory hierarchy looks like this.
Package/
__init__.py
Part1/
__init__.py
item.py
load_items.py
Part2/
__init__.py
section.py
Part3/
__init__.py
mappings/
file1.txt
file2.txt
...
file10.txt
map.py
unmapped.txt
I have some other file main.py that is not in the package and inside I have put
import Package
print(dir(Package))
The output from this is
['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']
however I was expecting to see "Part1", "Part2", and "Part3" in this list. I also tried
print(Package.Part1)
and I got an attribute error: Package has no attribute Part1.
This is the first package I have made and I am also unsure why __init__.py is needed in every directory? Or perhaps this is wrong and it isn't. I've read a bunch of the other questions on stack overflow but none of them have really helped me understand. Basically, I'm looking for whether my package is structured correctly and why when I do dir(Package) the parts of it are not listed.
