missing __init__.py file for a module

Where have you run into problems without this file? Most or all of the currently running pretalx plugins seem to work fine without it.

I run into the problem while debugging one plugin. Take pretalx-downstream [1] as an example. The plugin works, because there is some internal import magic. Though import pretalx_downstream fails. And so would any other absolut imports. I think this can cause some unnecessary confusion.

PS: In the pretix plugin cookiecutter [2] this is a non issue, because the apps.py logic is in the __init__.py - which I am not saying you have to follow :)

Hm, yes, let's talk about pretalx-downstream:

In [1]: import pretalx_downstream

In [2]: type(pretalx_downstream)
Out[2]: module

What is the exact import error you are seeing? Which Python version is this on?
