Something like that, yes. For packages that publish wheels, we can analyse those directly without needing to run setup.py. Of course there are many packages with only sdists published. > Could this (namespace extraction) be added to 'setup.py build' for > the future? Potentially. As I mentioned, there is a place in the metadata to put this information - the 'Provides' field. However, relying on package uploaders would take a long time to build up decent coverage of the available packages, so I'm inclined to focus on scanning PyPI, similar to the tool Chris already showed.
