Snyk Code: Enhanced Python Package Analysis

Snyk Code’s Python analysis has been updated to support __init__.py files, improving scan accuracy and depth.

This enhancement allows for the correct importing of symbols defined in package initialization files. This leads to a more accurate analysis of projects that use this common packaging structure, which is detailed in the official Python documentation on modules.

As a result of this deeper analysis, customers with projects utilizing this module structure may see new findings in their scan results.

This update affects Python projects only and was rolled out to all Snyk customers as part of recent support case work.
