# empty-init

The `__init__.py` files under the following directories must be empty. For some of these (modules and tests), `__init__.py` files with code won’t be used. For others (module_utils), we want the possibility of using Python namespaces which an empty `__init__.py` will allow for.

- `lib/ansible/modules/`
- `lib/ansible/module_utils/`
- `test/units/`
