Various thoughts on organizing

Importing external models

• First alternative: @lru_cache() def hypexport(): … import_file

  • 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..
