Packaging is not always wrong.  Maybe it was the right thing to do for unittest, maybe not. This is an example that I personally find ill-justified.  Particularly annoying is the fact that opening init.py gives you a list of relative imports and sends you to the next file for everything else. Having both main.py and main.py seems redundant.    What were the benefits  that justified unittest.py split?

Mostly it was huge.
