[Tutor] __init__.py

[Joseph Quigley]

I've seen many (python) "plugins" (some located in site-packages [windows 
here]) with the name __init__.py.
What's their use?
class foo:
	def __init__:
		print "this starts first"
	def foo1():
		print "this comes later. Init initializes the chain of functions in this 
class

Now, i've never used a program (i can't seem to grasp all the self, and 
other things in OOP yet) with __init__ but I know what __init__ does in a 
class, not as a file name.
I'm asking this out of curiosity, not for help.
