OK, I'm answering my own question, it might be of some help for someone in the future: yes, it's possible to have parts of the same package in multiple directories, it's just not enabled by default. To make it work each such package should have the following code in their __init__.py:
from pkgutil import extend_path __path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__) Actually pkgutil's documentation explains this quite clearly: http://docs.python.org/library/pkgutil.html (It's easy if you know where to look ;) ) Laszlo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
