# pageindex/page_index.py — re-exports from index/page_index.py import sys import types from .index.page_index import * # noqa: F401,F403,E402 # pageindex/__init__.py binds the FUNCTION `page_index` as the package # attribute `pageindex.page_index` (`from .index.page_index import *`). But # this file is ALSO a real submodule of the same name — the moment anything, # anywhere in the process, does `import pageindex.page_index` (exactly what # `from pageindex.page_index import X` triggers), Python's import machinery # overwrites that package attribute with THIS module object, clobbering the # function binding. Afterwards `from pageindex import page_index; page_index(x)` # would raise "TypeError: 'module' object is not callable" — silently, and # depending entirely on whether this submodule happened to be imported yet. # # Fix: make this module itself callable, delegating to the real function, so # whichever object ends up sitting in the `pageindex.page_index` slot — the # function or this module — is callable either way. Both `from pageindex.page_index # import page_index_main` (module attribute access) and # `from pageindex import page_index; page_index(x)` (call) keep working # regardless of import order. class _CallableModule(types.ModuleType): def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): return page_index(*args, **kwargs) sys.modules[__name__].__class__ = _CallableModule
