I have developed a custom Python module called awesome-lib.py, which needs to be imported and utilized by multiple other Python modules (module1.py, module2.py, etc). The challenge lies in the fact that all of these modules must reside in separate folders, each requiring its own copy of awesome-lib.py for importing. I have considered two possible solutions to this dilemma:
- Each module folder will contain a duplicate of
awesome-lib.py. This way, I can easilyimport awesome-liband use it within each module. However, a drawback of this approach is that any modifications made toawesome-lib.pywould necessitate manually copying the file to each module folder, making it less than ideal. - An alternative method involves packaging
awesome-lib.pyusingdistutils. After making changes to the module, I could updateawesome-lib.pyin each module using a script. Nonetheless, I still require the individual inclusion of the awesome-lib distribution package in each module folder.
Could someone please suggest an efficient way to accomplish this task? Ideally, I would like to make modifications to one file and ensure that these changes are reflected in all modules separately.
P.S: It is essential for me to have awesome-lib.py in each module folder separately because I intend to zip its contents and upload each module as a Lambda zip package on AWS Lambda.
