Once again on this: With the introduction of module folders without __init__, it has become even harder to deduce a sensible project root Dir without relying on a global settings file. Abd as you probably agree, such files are a bad idea. Any global is bad, also in the file system.
Guido, this is another reason why I dislike the absence of __init__. : Rhere is no longer an indicator that pretty clearly defines the root of my module heirarchy.
