Python：创建包时如何更改模块的路径

Question

We have a project in our company, developed in Python. Internally, we use import our_cool_module . We'd like to open source it, but change the import path to import our_cool_company.our_cool_module . How can we do this without making any changes to the code or to the actual directories it's in? (using Python 3 if its relevant)

Answer 1

Please do not do this. This is against good practices. There is nothing cool about doing this. And if you do this, a lot of people who do not know your company ahead of time will not use the module.

# Can you imagine if I had to do this to install Django?
pip install microsoft

If it is a good useful module, leave it as such. Your company will eventually be known and get the credit for it. A good example is React , the Javascript library developped by Facebook . Nowhere in the code do you see that they developped it. But it's good enough that everybody knows.

Note: no, Microsoft did not develop Django .
