Inada Naoki <[email protected]> added the comment:
Searching into directory without __init__.py recursively is not only
inefficient, but also dangerous.
project/
- mylib/
- __init__.py
- foo.py
- tests/
- __init__.py
- test_foo.py
- tools/
- bin/
- dangerous_script.py
What happens if `python -m unittest` is run in the project root?
Who excepts tools/bin/dangarous.py is executed?
My conclution is:
* People shouldn't abuse PEP 420. Omitting __init__.py is allowed only for
namespace package.
* Namespace package should be searched based on PEP 420 rule. Don't search into
regular directory unless it is specified.
