I was wrong here, and there are corner cases (particularly related to running tests) with setuptools-style namespaces that makes this infeasible. I've unmasked all but backports and jaraco -- these two use pkgutil-style namespaces and are not affected. Long story short, if setup.py enables some namespace-related magic in setuptools, Python can no longer find other packages using implicit namespace -- only these using explicit pkg_resources namespace. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
