Apparently "foo" is already a package defined using __init__.py,
so you know about that part already.

Just change its contents to read:

from Bar import Bar
from Blah import Blah
from Zzz import Zzz

Then whenever you need to use these classes, you only need:

from foo import Bar, Blah, Zzz

or

from foo import *

Cheers,
Terry
