package

__init__.py

• It tells Python that the directory is a package.
• __init__.py exposes the module functionality to the outside world.
• To make code a package, we add an __init__.py and put it and the module in a directory with a package name.
• It acts as the main interface to the package when someone uses import <package>.
• It contains code to import specific functions from api.py so that cli.py and our test files can access package functionality like tasks.add() instead of having to do tasks.api.add().
