I believe you're mistaken: there is no import mechanism "hackery" in pkg_resources. (__path__ is a documented *hook*, not a hack, and it's the only import-related hook that pkg_resources uses). And, if you don't like namespace packages, perhaps you should be campaigning for this to be removed: http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/module-pkgutil.html pkg_resources only updates the routine provided in pkgutil to be a bit more automatic, and to better support PEP 302 and zipfile importing. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
