pkgutil

pkgutil — Package extension utility

New in version 2.3.

Source code: Lib/pkgutil.py

This module provides utilities for the import system, in particular package support.

pkgutil.extend_path(path, name)

Extend the search path for the modules which comprise a package. Intended use is to place the following code in a package’s __init__.py:

from pkgutil import extend_path
__path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__)

This will add to the package’s __path__ all subdirectories of directories on sys.path named after the package. T
