MySQL Shell 9.3
If you use common code or inner packages in Python code that is part of a MySQL Shell plugin or plugin group, you must follow these requirements for naming and importing to avoid potential clashes between package names:
The plugin or plugin group's top-level folder, and each inner folder that is to be recognized as a package, must be a valid regular package name according to Python's PEP 8 style guide, using only letters, numbers, and underscores.
Each inner folder that is to be recognized as a package must
contain a file named __init__.py
.
When importing, the full path for the package name must be
specified. For example, if a plugin group named
ext
contains a plugin named
demo
, which has an inner package named
src
containing a module named
sample
, the module must be imported as
follows:
from ext.demo.src import sample
