Python Automation Interview Questions
Python Automation Interview Questions
You can use "Python Package" when you want to put some modules in there which should be
importable. PyCharm will automatically create an __init__.py for the directory.
Not every subdirectory in a project should necessarily be a package. For example, docs and tests are
commonly just directories.
Does PyCharm mark a location as one or the other based on its name?
PyCharm seems to mark the icon with a dot if the subdirectory name is a valid identifier and not a
keyword, regardless of whether the subdirectory is a package or not. This is possibly because, in Python
3.3+, subdirs are also implicit namespace packages (they are still importable even when there is no
__init__.py file).
If you have a project associated with a Python 2.7 interpreter, you don't get the dot on the icon unless
the __init__.py file is added, since implicit namespace packages are not a thing in Python 2.
