Message summary for PR#9
	From: katel at worldpath.net
	Subject: empty __init__.py
	Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 20:41:56 -0400

	Notes: An empty __init__.py is okay - it exists to tell Python that the directory
is a submodule.  It is customary, however, to put a comment like "This
is a Python module" or some such to prevent confusion.  Also, some programs
(like at least one version of pkzip) will not include an empty file in
an archive.  I'll see about fixing this once I figure out how to get write
access.
