Hi.

It seems I'm having some trobles with setuptools and namespace packages
under Debian Squeeze and Python 2.6.

One thing to say about Python 2.6 on Debian Squeeze is that "local"
packages are installed under /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/.

I have tried with system default python 2.5, and namespace packages
works. The same when I create a virtual environment with python 2.6.
The problem seems to just be with system default python 2.6.

I'm using the original setuptools (installed from sources), and not the
one provided by Debian.

Before trying to dig more into the issue, I would like to know if
someone else is experiencing the same problem.


Thanks   Manlio
