Thank you for your suggestion. I solved changing my structure a little bit:

python_libs/
|---- src
|     |---- setup_foo.py
|     |---- foo
|     |     |---- __init__.py
|     |     |---- foo_module.py
|     |---- bar
|     |     |---- __init__.py
|     |     |---- bar_module.py
|     |---- common
|     |     |---- __init__.py
|     |     |---- common_module.py

And changed setup_foo.py like this:

setup(name='foo',
      version='0.1',
      description="foo and common packages",
      packages=find_packages(exclude=['bar', 'bar.*']),
      zip_safe=False,
...

Now everything works as expected. Maybe as you said an "out of source" build 
is not well supported.

That's of course a good idea, but for now my project is made up of just three 
packages and I find this solution quite handy.

Thanks again!
