[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [general] Applying best practices to tutorials (or having a best practices example)?

[suforeman]

I finally read through all of the links from the github wiki page. Good information. That said, it did not answer the particular question of "structuring python code".

>From ros.org, there is the suggestion of the following directory structure:

    packagename
     |- src/
        |- packagename/
          |- __init__.py
          |- yourfiles.py

Thus, you end up with something like this:

`~/catkin_ws/src/package/src/package/file.py`

The extra `package/` folder seems overly redundant. This extra level does not exist in the C++ guide. I could not find an explanation as to why it is recommended for python.
