AntiPackage

===========

Automagically import single file Python modules from GitHub.

## Installation

The `antipackage` package can be installed from GitHub using `pip`:

```

pip install git+https://github.com/ellisonbg/antipackage.git#egg=antipackage

```

## Usage

Enable `antipackage` by simply importing it:

```python

import antipackage

```

Once `antipackage` has been imported you can simply import modules from GitHub using the syntax:

```python

from github.username.repo import module

```

When you do this, the import hook will automatically download and install single file

Python modules into the location `~/.antipackage/github/username/repo/module.py`. If the

module ever changes on GitHub it will be updated next time you import it.

## Absolute imports

The `antipackage` package is written looking forward to the days when Python 2 is no longer

supported. Because of this, the import hooks used in `antipackage` assume that relative imports

are not used in the single file modules that are being imported. To enable this behavior for Python 2,

add the following line at the top of your modules:

```python

from __future__ import absolute_import

```
