Determining the repository path from a model repository

[greg-wiltshire]

Currently it is possible to look at the python code repository file tree to determine the location of the root init.py file and use this to set the repository path and entry point of a model.

However according to this post it is no longer needed in Python 3.3+. This means that there will be no method to extract the repository path and entry point of a model.

The issue is to ensure that the repository path and entry point will work both for Python 3.3+ and before. For example if an installation is using Python 3.3 and no init.py file exists to denote the root Python package directory can the repository path be set to null and the entry point to the full path to the .py file (with the class).
