Note that models should be *significantly* easier, because models is meant to be split and I don't think there are functions which expect the models.py to contain everything (other than admin views if you are using that).

I don’t think hacking __init__ is a good idea, I’d rather hack the urls.py to point to the right thing.

Note that models should be *significantly* easier, because models is meant to be split and I don’t think there are functions which expect the models.py to contain everything (other than admin views if you are using that).

You could possibly remove the references to __all__, but I leave them in, and then in each file, only add the classes/functions I wan exported to __all__ in each of them. The content of my __init__.py for a directory where I want to import all of the files looks like:

names = [f[:-3] for f in os.listdir(__path__[0]) if (not f.startswith(‘_’)) and f.endswith(‘.py’)]
__all__ = []
for name in names:
exec(“from %s import *” % name)
exec(“import %s” % name)
exec(“__all__.extend(%s.__all__)” % name)

(Those last three exec lines are all indented one level).
