Python GUI Programming Cookbook, Second Edition - Second Edition

Using __init__ to connect modules

When we create a new Python package using the PyDev plugin for the Eclipse IDE, it automatically creates an __init__.py module. We can also create it ourselves manually, when not using Eclipse.

The __init__.py module is usually empty and, then, has a size of 0 kilobytes.

We can use this usually empty module to connect different Python modules by entering code into it. This recipe will show how to do this.
