+Various thoughts on organizing
+
+* Importing external models
+- First alternative:
+  @lru_cache()
+  def hypexport():
+      ... import_file
+
+ # doesn't really work either..
+ # hypexport = import_file(Path(paths.hypexport.repo) / 'model.py')
+
+ + TODO check pytest friendliness if some paths are missing? Wonder if still easier to control by manually excluding...
+ - not mypy/pylint friendly at all?
+
+- Second alternative:
+  symlinks in my_configuration and direct import?
+
+  + mypy/pylint friendly
+  ? keeping a symlink to model.py is not much worse than hardcoding path. so it's ok I guess
+
+* Thoughts on organizing imports
+- First way:
+  import my_configuration.hypexport_model as hypexport
+  works, but my_configuration is scattered across the repository?
+
+Second way:
+  from . import my_configuration?
+  doesn't seem to work with subpackages?
+  right, perhaps symlinking is a good idea after all?...
+
+Third way:
+  import my_configuration.repos.hypexport.model as hypexport
+  works, but MYPYPATH doesn't seem to be happy...
+  ok, --namespace-packages solves it..
