That approach (adding the declare_namespace() calls to __init__.py files) should
only be necessary when the __init__.py files contain actual code that needs to
be executed. In this case, matplotlib/toolkits/__init__.py are otherwise empty,
IIRC. You should just add "matplotlib.toolkits" to the namespace_packages.txt.
Note the spelling of that. "." not "/".
