Reset to default 0Directly executing a package's __init__.py isn't expected to work. Whatever goal you were hoping to achieve by doing that, you should find a different way to go about it.
If you try to do it anyway, it won't be considered the package's __init__.py when you do that. It'll just be considered some random .py file, not part of a package at all, and you can't perform relative imports from some random .py file that isn't part of a package.
Also, your import path will be messed up, and sys.path.append(".") doesn't fix it.
