That's really not recommended. A lot of behaviors are subtly affected by failing to have init files.

Not op but I have personally noticed that doing a ‘python setup.py install’ doesn’t correctly import modules unless you have an __init__.py file. It’s possible I could be doing something wrong however.

Mypy sometimes uses init files to understand internal imports.
