Overview of theme package files

You will notice a beyondskins directory in parts/omelette that contains two files:

• __init__.py

• ploneday

The __init__.py file tells Python to treat this directory as a module, and that ploneday is another directory.

Plone packages typically do not make use of the top-level or mid-level namespaces, so let us look inside (the third-level module) beyondskins/ploneday/site2010 instead:

$ ls -H -1 parts/omelette/beyondskins/ploneday/site2010 
README.txt 
__init__.py 
__init__.pyc 
__init__.pyo 
browser/ 
configure.zcml 
doc/ 
locales/ 
profiles/ 
profiles.zcml 
setuphandlers.py 
setuphandlers.pyc 
setuphandlers.pyo 
skins/ 
skins.zcml 
tests.py 
tests.pyc 
tests.pyo 
updateTranslations.sh 
version.txt

Here is an overview of (most of) these files and directories:

• __init__.py: This file tells Python the directory is a module; see http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html for more information.

• __init.__pyc: This file contains compiled byte code; see http://docs...
