Implicit import from submodules

Question

I've got a package like this:

 foo/
    __init__.py
    bar.py
    baz.py

I'd like to have submodules' functions automatically available when I import foo. So if bar.py has def spam() somewhere, I'd like to be able to call it directly like foo.spam(). What would be the best way to achieve that?

Inside __init__.py, do from bar import spam.

How do I make all functions in `bar.py` available? – georg Jul 04 '12 at 09:36
But, don't do that. Be explicit. – Daniel Roseman Jul 04 '12 at 09:37
Indeed, :-) If you are going to do it though you might want to understand the dunder dunder all variable. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/44834/can-someone-explain-all-in-python – aychedee Jul 04 '12 at 09:39
