take a shot every time, he says 'you know'.

[mahmoodheidari]

stop saying "you know".
I don't know anything...

[altunbikubra]

That's what I needed, thank you for making it understandable!

[al-baraael-hag]

People are judging you too harshly. It was a really good informative video and I learnt a lot from it.

This is a good video, I was really confused about why I needed this blank __init__.py file everywhere as it made everything messy. But now I know why it's there and it's use cases.

This is the best explanation I found for __init__.py

[xoxo-ypfc]

well explained than most of the videos on youtube keep posting

[balajichippada]

Awesome content!! Don't let other comments get into your brain!

Just amazing, I was looking for this, I had to import every file in the folder, but now I can just import the folder and the __init__.py will import them all for me.

Its actually a 4 min-content if you eliminate you know.

Thanks for the explanations. I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism - you say "you know" A LOT. Dozens of times. It makes it very hard to follow along. One way to avoid it, is writing down what your going to say. There are other methods as well. But you should really kick this habit. Subscribed :)

I got a question for my understanding, from your first use case, you wrote from functions import add.
That is redundant right? Since in the __init__.py, we have from.arithmetic import * (all) ?

[yughendermeda]

avoiding you know can reduce the length of the video by 1 minute.

[mahdigholami]

can we have global var in __init__.py or somewhere else in this method???

[clueless_nidget]

Hi, I need to know how to use init and import a file from one folder to another folder where both the folders are in the main folder.

[kunalsharma]

How you add the external libraries package in your project Could you please provide detail on this.

[vishwasgupta]

thanks .. main thing is knowing this __init__ not required after 3.3 version.
