This would also Not sure what you mean by this, but I hope by "importable" you don't mean Python source. JSON sounds like a better option. We currently write all the installed files as a simple text file (RECORD), but there's no reason it couldn't be a JSON file which held the mappings of category -> path used during installation, as well as the list of files installed. When you say "package's namespace", are you referring to the .dist-info directory, or something else? Those two words are fraught with ambiguity.
