Package importing problem

[Tonguç Yumruk]

Hi,

I'm writing a plugin based application with python 2.1 but I really have
some trouble with creating a package. My directory structure is:


Skib/Server/Python/:
skib
skibserver

Skib/Server/Python/skib:
__init__.py
PluginManager.p y
plugins

Skib/Server/Python/skib/plugins:
default
__init__.py

Skib/Server/Python/skib/plugins/default:
default.py
__init__.py

in all the __init__.py files I have the __all__=["blah","bla h"]
statement. When I try it as:

from skib import PluginManager
PluginManager.i nit_plugins()

It works. But when I try it like that:

import skib
skib.PluginMana ger.init_plugin s()

It raises AttributeError and complains that there is nothing called
PluginManager. Subpackages also behave like that. The __init__.py files
only contain the __all__ directive. No actual code are in them. Am I
missing a point?

Thanks.

I think that is because skib/PluginManager.p y was never imported. Putting

import PluginManager

into skib/__init__.py should do (just a guess, though).
