Strongly disagree. It is perfectly possible to do that without adding anything into __init__. I prefer explicit imports and any other logic declared directly into the module(s) that are the places where one would expect to find those.
I see code in __init__ as a convenient hack, but a hack nonetheless.
- BerislavLopac 4y agoCode in __init__ is one of the core concepts of Python; seeing it as a hack is purely individual, and probably based on your own experience with it. It's exactly the same as calling mataclasses "a hack".
