gitmodules

This project was developed to avoid problems with gitmodules importing in Python projects.

Dependencies

This project has no any dependencies, it uses only os and sys standard libraries.

Usage

Install this project via PyPi:

pip install gitmodules

Import this module to your project before importing git submodules

import gitmodules
import my_git_submodule_1
import my_git_submodule_2

Example

Here is an example with a problem explanation in its readme.

How does it work

Right while importing this module tries to find .gitmodules file in your project, parse it and append all the git submodules directories to the 'sys.path'. After what it recursively repeat this action for all the git submodules.

Important notes

This module doesn't change current work directory, so that if some submodule was assumed to work with its root folder via current work directory it will fail.

You don't need to call any functions from the gitmodules to make it work and it may call 'Unused import statement' code violation. To avoid it, add next comment in front of this import:

# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
import gitmodules
