Package, subpackage and module structure

This project has been structured using single-file class approach. While this is not that Pythonic (more like Jav’ish) I find it best for a heavily Object Oriented Project like this.

To retain the Pythonic import structure, a class, say Foo, declared in a module-file, say, pack/subpack/mod.py can be imported both with:

from pack.subpack.mod import Foo

and

from pack.subpack import Foo

as all modules happen to contain only one class each.

To also borrow some more Jav’ish taste, all class names are camelCased and have their first letter Capitalized, while the modules containing them share the same name but all lowercase.

For example, the covertutils.handlers.basehandler.BaseHandler class can be imported like:

from covertutils.handlers.basehandler import BaseHandler

and like:

from covertutils.handlers import BaseHandler

as covertutils.handlers.basehandler only contains the BaseHandler class

Note

If importing errors like the following happen:

>>> import coverutils
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named coverutils
>>>

Be sure to write the package name properly: It’s cover t utils.

It happens all the time to me…
