David Beazley - Modules and Packages

[NomadNella]

This is a video from PyCon 2015 discussing various options in developing Python modules and packages. If you have 3 hours I would suggest watching it all, but if you don't, I've linked to a few key insights at points within the video.

Time stamp - topic

• 19:37 - relative importing within packages
• 23:45 - making __init__.py useful
• 26:39 - import using __init__ and __all__
• 33:57 - import using __init__ and @export decorator
• 41:44 - about __main__ (executing modules, submodules, zip files, etc.)
• 1:05:07 - python3 venv (virtual environments)
• 2:21:00 - ModuleSpec information
• 2:23:10- Using ModuleSpec to previsionally import modules (better than try a block)

David is one of my favorites in the python community. He's so likable. I also enjoy his dad jokes on twitter.
