Hi,Let suppose that we have package aaa and subpackage bbb and we are going to write setup.py for bbb using setuptools: extra = dict( namespace_packages=["aaa", "aaa.bbb"], zip_safe = False, install_requires = ['setuptools'], ) if __name__=="__main__": setup(name="aaa.bbb", version="0.0.1", description="Dummy example subpackage", author="Mr. Nemo", url="http://www.the.way.org/to/hell";, author_email="[email protected]", packages=['aaa.bbb'], license='BSD', **extra)This is the way of namespace_packages usage I against of. So, the questions is am I right standing that package bbb, subpackage of aaa must list in namespace_packages only namespaces it participate in eq 'aaa', and must not list any namespaces it is provides, in this case 'aaa.bbb'? So correct value namespace_packages=['aaa'] in the case above.
If 'aaa.bbb' is not itself a namespace package, then namespace_packages should only contain 'aaa'. And unless you will have yet another project which is installing something under aaa.bbb, then aaa.bbb does not need to be a namespace package.
namespace_packages should only list namespaces in which the current project *participates*. That is, it should list packages that are *containers* for the thing(s) this project is providing, that are *shared* by other projects.
