Issue Description
Having just gone through the tutorial, I found myself confused because once the project is packaged and installed, and then imported, the add_one() function seemed unavailable.
-
"import example_package" was without error, but attempting to use example_package.add_one(3) gave AttributeError: module 'example_package' has no attribute 'add_one'
-
"from example_package import add_one" gives ImportError: cannot import name 'add_one' from 'example_package'
-
"from example_package import *" runs without error, but then attempting to use add_one gives NameError: name 'add_one' is not defined
The only way I have been able to run "add_one()" has been as
"from example_package.example import add_one".
While this is understandable as the function is defined in the top level example.py file, it definitely violated my expectations as almost every package I use would allow me to use "import example_package" and then "example_package.add_one()" or "from example_package import add_one" and then run "add_one()"
I am suggesting either an example of loading the package and using the function, or the addition of modifying the init.py to add "from .example import add_one"
