Python Tip #278 (of 365):
Always include a __init__.py file in your Python packages. Even an empty one.
food_utils
├── fruits.py
├── __init__.py
└── non_fruits.py
A package is a directory that Python treats like a module.
When you import the package, the module you get back IS the __init__.py file:
>>> import food_utils
>>> food_utils
<module 'food_utils' from '/home/trey/food_utils/__init__.py'>

Python Tip #276 (of 365):
Make self positional-only when accepting "**kwargs".
This class accepts arbitrary keyword arguments... except for self:
>>> class Namespace:
... def __init__(self, **kwargs):
... for name, value in kwargs.items():
... setattr(self, name, value)
...
>>> space = Namespace(other=2, self=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Namespace.__init__() got multiple values for argument 'self'
