Are you referring to where I say "I'm currently using python 3.5 as packaged in debian 9"? (I can't find the string "using" anywhere else.) I just mean that that is the version of python I have installed. > You mean installing them (for which you > should never use easy_install anyway, btw), or packaging them? The only > limitation regarding packaging them is that you currently need to > explicitly list them in your packaging configuration, as find_packages() > does not yet support namespace packages. At this point I mean installing them using the `setup.py` script that is in that repo (i.e. executing `python3 setup.py install`). I mean this file: https://github.com/pypa/sample-namespace-packages/blob/master/native/pkg_a/setup.py) That file is using setuptools. Maybe the best way to formulate my question is: Should the steps that I put in the previous email result in error or not? I.e. is that a bug or expected behavior. Thanks for the help.
