Use when the question is the mechanics around a module rather than what it is called — `__init__.py`, `__all__`, a re-export, one file or two modules, relative versus absolute imports, a circular import, or whether this needs a class at all. Owns when a class earns its place and the one-class-per-module cap with the test for when a closed set of declarations may share a module, the four-part re-export contract, building nothing at import time, and the `py.typed` marker a library distribution…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Python Packaging

How a module is packaged, and how another module reaches it. These rules are
**architecture-neutral** — they hold in a layered app, a standalone service, and a shared library alike,
because they are about Python's import system rather than about layers.

What they do *not* decide is which package a module belongs in. That is the architecture's job:
`hex-architecture` (in the `pyhouse-hex` plugin) for a layered app, `flat-layered` (in
`pyhouse-flat`) for a package-by-technology service, or the project's own layout where neither applies.

## When to use vs. neighbours

- Choosing a name for anything — a package, module, class, function or variable → `naming`, first.
  "Name this module" lands there, not here; this skill only checks the filename against the class
  once the name exists.
- Creating a module or an `__init__.py`, or changing a package's public surface → this skill.
- Any question of relative vs absolute, or how to spell an import → this skill.
- A circular import, or an import pushed into a function body to break one → this skill; the cycle is
  a structural problem and rule 11 says so.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/python-packaging@sha256:5e6a931373b487e9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.4a676ac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
