I'm not only a TG-developer, I'm a python developer who frequently relies on 3rd-party-packages and reading stacktraces. And the argument *is* about __init__.py because if it actually matters so much to you that bottom-level names differ, python's __init__.py files must be a cause of tremendous confusion to you. To me - they aren't. And even if they were, __init__.pys are legion. controllers.py are two. If you *really* need to disambiguate, it deems me doable for you to train yourself to look one path part to the left in case of "controllers.py" However, this is a moot discussion - the TG2 app layout is different, controllers is a directory there. > I realize we are verging off into yellow bike shed territory, but this > isn't about two python modules having the same name. > > This is about a project giving the same name to a quickstarted created > file and one of its core files.

Maybe you should prove that other projects *don't* do this...
