It seems to be that it would be better to have a __main__.py file. Then, from the top level of the git repo, it would be as simple as running python alot.

wouldn't that start the ui even if i just import alot.foo ? Otherwise, __main__.py might be a good idea

@pazz No, that is what would happen if the code was but in __init__.py. __main__.py is run when the module is executed as a script, so it should not cause any such problem.

I do this a bit differently: I install packages I want to tinker on with cd path/to/alot && pip install -e . and can than just run alot.
