Keep the Products.* namespace - distribute your egg with a namespace package 'Products' - only works (reliably) on zope trunk/2.11+ - ZCML processing and initialize() is implicit/automated 2. Use a regular python package (whether with a namespace or not) - distribute your egg with any namespace (or no namespace) - most of the plone.app.* packages are products - works on Zope 2.10.4+ - ZCML is only processed if the package is explicitly included from site.zcml (or a ZCML slug, or another package/product that is being processed) - The package only becomes a product if the <five:registerPackage /> ZCML directive is in use
Tnx for clarification. Another question: what's the point not using entry points since service discovery is one of the reasons for using entry points. Ok, with globally installed eggs this will lead to a disaster...however for isolated installations via buildout or something similar using entry points might be useful.
