<p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="reference external" href="https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.4/Lib/pkgutil.py">Lib/pkgutil.py</a></p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>This module provides utilities for the import system, in particular package
support.</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="pkgutil.extend_path">
<tt class="descclassname">pkgutil.</tt><tt class="descname">extend_path</tt><big>(</big><em>path</em>, <em>name</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#pkgutil.extend_path" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Extend the search path for the modules which comprise a package. Intended
use is to place the following code in a package’s <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">__init__.py</span></tt>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pkgutil</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">extend_path</span>
<span class="n">__path__</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">extend_path</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">__path__</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">__name__</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This will add to the package’s <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__path__</span></tt> all subdirectories of directories
on <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.path</span></tt> named after the package. This is useful if one wants to
distribute different parts of a single logical package as multiple
directories.</p>
<p>It also looks for <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.pkg</span></tt> files beginning where <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*</span></tt> matches the
<em>name</em> argument. This feature is similar to <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.pth</span></tt> files (see the
<a class="reference internal" href="site.html#module-site" title="site: Module responsible for site-specific configuration."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">site</span></tt></a> module for more information), except that it doesn’t special-case
lines starting with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">import</span></tt>. A <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.pkg</span></tt> file is trusted at face
value: apart from checking for duplicates, all entries found in a
<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.pkg</span></tt> file are added to the path, regardless of whether they exist
on the filesystem. (This is a feature.)</p>
<p>If the input path is not a list (as is the case for frozen packages) it is
returned unchanged. The input path is not modified; an extended copy is
returned. Items are only appended to the copy at the end.</p>
<p>It is assumed that <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.path" title="sys.path"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.path</span></tt></a> is a sequence. Items of <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.path" title="sys.path"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.path</span></tt></a>
that are not strings referring to existing directories are ignored. Unicode
items on <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.path" title="sys.path"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.path</span></tt></a> that cause errors when used as filenames may cause
this function to raise an exception (in line with <a class="reference internal" href="os.path.html#os.path.isdir" title="os.path.isdir"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">os.path.isdir()</span></tt></a>
