        This package fixes a small problem which has been bugging me throughout
        years of python development: forgetting to keep a module's __init__.py
        up to date with new files added. This causes the following, irritating
        problems:
        
        1. Test suites don't find docstring tests.
        2. Static analysis tools don't see some module content in __all__.
        3. Things which scan themselves for plugins mismatch what os.listdir()
           returns as against what the module import table has.
        4. I waste time over something which should take care of itself.
        5. os.listdir() based solutions tend to fail when freezed into
           an executable binary because they don't understand running from
           inside a ZIP archive.
           
        So here's how to make the problem go away forever:
         
        1. Include the automodinit package into your setup.py dependencies.
        2. Replace all __init__.py files like this:
         
        __all__ = ["I will get rewritten"]
        # Don't modify the line above, or this line!
        import automodinit
        automodinit.automodinit(__name__, __file__, globals())
        del automodinit
        # Anything else you want can go after here, it won't get modified.
        
        3. That's it! From now on importing a module will set __all__ to
           a list of .py[co] files in the module and will also import each
           of those files as though you had typed:
           
           for x in __all__: import x
           
           Therefore the effect of "from M import *" matches exactly "import M".
           
        Customising:
        -=-=-=-=-=-=
        automodinit can take the following additional parameters:
        
        filter: This is a callable which will be passed a list of tuples
                (loader, modulename, ispkg) which is the output of
                pkgutil.iter_modules() for the calling module. Return only
                those which you want to be imported.
        importFindings: Defaults to True. Set to False to not auto-import
                        the contents of __all__.
        
        Version history:
        -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
         * v0,15 5th Mar 2017
           * Fixed stripping of __init__.py file encoding. Thanks to wtyerogers
        for reporting this.
           * Removed suggestion this is the smallest package on pypi. Thanks to
        asl97 for reporting this.
           * Tell PyPi we are under the MIT licence. Thanks to njwhite for
        reporting this.
        
         * v0.13 9th Feb 2013
           * Fixed a bug where the source distribution would fail to install due
        to not including distribute_setup.py. Thanks to kanzure for reporting this.
        
         * v0.12 5th Mar 2012
           * Fixed a bug where isinstance would occasionally fail. Turns out the
        pkgutil loading mechanism doesn't check to see if the module is already
        loaded, so it was loading duplicates whose types wouldn't compare.
        
         * v0.11 5th Mar 2012
           * Fixed some typos in Readme.txt
           * Typically what worked before packaging did not work after. Fixed!
        
         * v0.10 5th Mar 2012
           First release
