It might be helpful to consider how people would tackle Guido's problem by pretending that a regular Joe (i.e., someone who couldn't consider changing the semantics of Python itself) had asked this question.
I would suggest adding a hook to their version control system to automatically create (and preferably also check out) an __init__.py file whenever a new (source code) directory was placed under version control (supposing you can distinguish source code directories from the check in dirname). From one point of view this is a file system issue, so a file system solution might be a good way to solve it. This approach would also allow you to add this behavior/support on a per-user basis.
