I am writing some code that will require data from downstream the package hierarchy. Consider the following project structure:
├── app/
│ ├── main.py
│ ├── lib.py
│ └── subpck/
│ └── module.py
And the following code:
# lib.py
some_instance = SomeClass()
# subpck.module
from ..lib import some_instance
some_instance.a = 'abc'
# main.py
from .lib import some_instance
print(some_instance.a)
The key point here is that main.py does not import subpck.module, so the latter's code is not run. However, I have successfully used runpy in main.py to run subpck.module and have gotten the desired results.
My question is this:
If I can somehow figure out how to encapsulate the use of runpy in SomeClass, is it safe to do?
I have been reading the runpy docs, but am nervous if I am missing something. I also haven't heard if this is a big "no-no" for code that may be used in production.
Any help is appreciated.
