I have a directory structure:

example.py
templates/
    __init__.py
    a.py
    b.py

a.py and b.py have only one class, named the same as the file (because they are cheetah templates). For purely style reasons, I want to be able to import and use these classes in example.py like so:

import templates

t = templates.a()

Right now I do that by having this in the template folder's __init__.py:

__all__ = ["a", "b"]
from . import *

However, this seems pretty poor (and maybe superfluous), and doesn't even do what I want, as I have to use the classes like this:

t = templates.a.a()

Thoughts?
