is __init__py file needed ?

__init__.py file is not needed from python version 3.3 and above !!

All folders from python version 3.3 and above are considered a namespace package.
All folders from python 3.3 and above having a __init__.py file are considers a standard package.

Sir please clear a query .
Which type of packages resides inside site_package?

So you are telling that for older versions like older than 3.3 you do not need init.py file, versus versions that are newer like python 3.12 need an init.py file? Because i find out that the newer versions are lower numbers? Can you tell me from what version on or what date they decidet to make init.py required?

[mallikasrivastava]

What if __init__.py available on both packages?

Your video doesn't explain what "my_package" is.

It's true that in Python 3.2.0 you can't import a directory without a `__init__.py`. I built a python 3.2.0 and verify this. Thanks for the video.
