Using the "single step" function F7, I'm able to step into those empty 
__init__.py files.  I'm using relative paths in my application and each 
time a package has to be "crossed" to go one level deeper, that package 
contains an empty __init__.py file.  It's that file which is opened each 
and every time, even if it's empty.

If you want, I can send you my current project to see for yourself how 
the set-up of the project is...

PS: indeed, as I also stated in my initial message, when the __init__.py 
file is not empty, you should be able to step into it...
