Thanks, Dieter. You're right, I definitely wouldn't want to use this solution. I was hoping for something that can be done inside the product :-( Dieter Maurer wrote:

As a bonus, can I also get __init__.py files in each module directory to be executed? You can manipulate (extend) "sys.path" in your (top level) "__init__.py" file. Python starts its package/module lookup from the elements in "sys.path".

However, I doubt very much, that you should do this! You will lose the namespace isolation provided by packages.
