init

The __init__.py file is primarily concerned with importing various modules, setting up certain components, and defining an __all__ list for controlling the public interface of the current package or module.

Imports​

The code imports several classes, functions, and constants from other modules within the same package (denoted by the . before each module name). These imported components are:

  1. YetiForceClient (from .client): A client that interacts with the YetiForce system (CRM). This client handles tasks such as authentication, sending requests, or interacting with the YetiForce API.
  2. setup_logger (from .loggersetupper): A function responsible for setting up the logging configuration for the module or application. This function could configure log levels, handlers, and log formats.
  3. DefaultModules (from .modules): A set of predefined modules within the YetiForce system (or another system).
  4. SatisfactionEnum (from .modules): An enumeration related to satisfaction levels (e.g., "Excellent", "Good", "Poor").
  5. LongTermPickListSatis (from .modules) May represent a specific set of values or options for satisfaction scores among the long-term students.
  6. AuthUser (from .models): This is a class that represents an authenticated user, used for managing user sessions, credentials, or user-related data.
  7. YetiForceLongTermClient (from .modules): Refers to a client for interacting with a long-term version or module of the YetiForce system.
  8. LongTermModules (from .modules): Predefined modules or services within the long-term context of the YetiForce system.
  9. EnglishLevels (from .modules): Refers to a set of levels or categories for classifying proficiency in English (e.g., A1, A2, B1, etc.).

__all__ Declaration​

The __all__ list is defined to explicitly specify which names are considered public and should be exposed when the module is imported. This is a way of controlling the public API of the package. The names listed in the __all__ list will be accessible when importing the package using from package import *. The code ensures that only the specified classes, functions, and constants are publicly available.

In this case, the following components are made publicly available:

  • YetiForceClient (class or function from .client)
  • AuthUser (class from .models)
  • setup_logger (function from .loggersetupper)
  • DefaultModules, SatisfactionEnum, LongTermPickListSatis (constants or enums from .modules)
  • YetiForceLongTermClient, LongTermModules, EnglishLevels (from .LongtermClient)

Purpose and Usage​

This code is organizing the package structure by grouping related components, providing easy access to core functionalities, and ensuring that the module’s public API is clean and well-defined. The __all__ declaration explicitly lists which components are intended for external use, allowing consumers of this package to import only the required functionality in a clear and controlled way.

Example of Usage:​

This code is part of a Python package, so it is possible to import any of the listed components like so:

from my_package import YetiForceClient, AuthUser, setup_logger

# Now it is possible to use the imported components
client = YetiForceClient()
user = AuthUser()
setup_logger()

By controlling the public interface through __all__, the package hides other internal components that may not be necessary for end-users.
