PyPI package and files

[snippsat]

The answer was to type info python
This gives the syntax as python3 -m mymodules.myapp datafile.dat

Then the point of making a package is somewhat gone if do it like this.

So before talk about Entry Points to make if for command line,
if want to load file in a package there is importlib.resources(New in Python 3.7)
So eg in Packaging Python Projects if i add this.

from importlib import resources

def add_one(number):
    return number + 1

with resources.open_text('example_package', 'somefile.dat') as fp: # Just 42 in somefile.dat
    number = fp.read()

Then can now use number from the package.

>>> from example_package import example
>>>
>>> example.add_one(2)
3
>>> example.add_one(int(example.number))
43
>>>
