How to write python __init__.py file for module

Question

If I have a module folder structure like this:

studio
    tools
        __init__.py
        camera
            __init__.py
            camera.py
        element
            __init__.py
            element.py

How do I write the __init__.py files to make it so I can write my import statements like the following? There is a class object in the camera module called CameraNode that I would like to call like shown in the sample below.

from studio import tools
    
tools.camera.fn()
tools.CameraNode('')
tools.element.fn()

Answer 1

If you have a studio/tools/__init__.py file like this:

from .camera import *
from .element import *

Then you can do a single import elsewhere like:

from studio import tools

and then reference everything as if it were directly in studio.tools.

Not sure if this is answering your question exactly, but hopefully it gets you going in the right direction.
