Sounds good, but I still am confused as to why there should not be a site-packages/dap/__init__.py in the installed lib area. For this package there isn't too much in there, but some packages include things like version numbers and defaults in their __init__.py. For dap, we would be leaving out the overview documentation for import dap;help(dap). If the case really is that there should not be a dap/__init__.py, where do I tell the author of the package to move that documentation such that help(dap) will still provide as much info?
Thanks! -kurt
Yes, you're right, that is exactly the problem. There are two possible fixes: 1. add 'dap' to the namespace_packages setting in the setup.py 2. change setuptools to figure out that this is needed Since setuptools already knows that it shouldn't include the __init__ for dap, it can reasonably be considered a setuptools bug that it doesnt' generate the .pth correctly for that case, so I will fix that. In the meantime, as a workaround, adding 'dap' to the namespace_packages setting will allow you to proceed. Thanks for your patience and help in identifying the actual bug.
