Video Indently · 2y What does '\_\_init\_\_.py' do in Python? The \_\_init\_\_.py file in Python is used to mark a directory as a package and runs any setup code required for the package. It is essential for allowing Python to recognize the folder as a package and enabling imports from it. The file is executed every time the package is imported, and it can be used to define which modules or functions are accessible when using a wildcard import (from package import \*).

Python’s conventions prefer using None over NoneType directly. 19 [See all Indently archives](/sources/indently/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/indently/best-of/2024/10#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/indently/best-of/2024/10","name":"Best Indently Posts — October 2024","description":"The most upvoted Indently posts from October 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/indently/best-of/2024/10#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-does-init-py-do-in-python--svzjn0g6f","name":"What does '__init__.py' do in Python?"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/none-and-nonetype-explained-in-python-xtcsoj3fk","name":"\"None\" and \"NoneType\" Explained In Python"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Indently","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/indently"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/indently/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"October 2024"}]}]} ```
