I'm having some problems creating an sdist for a nested package where some of the levels only include __init__.py and the subdirectories. The full list of files is fairly long, but here's a snippet to give you an idea of the layout for the inputs:
PyMOTW/xml
PyMOTW/xml/__init__.py
PyMOTW/xml/etree
PyMOTW/xml/etree/__init__.py
PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree
PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/__init__.py
PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/ElementTree_create.py
PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/...
When I build the sdist, I get:
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml/etree
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/__init__.py
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/ElementTree_create.py
build/lib/PyMOTW/xml/etree/ElementTree/...
The __init__.py at the "xml" and "xml/etree" levels are not included. As a result, the sdist won't install because it wants to populate a PyMOTW.ElementTree package but the directory doesn't exist. I also tried adding other .py files at those levels in the directory structure (in case an "empty" directory was being ignored), but that had no effect.
The traceback I get trying to install the sdist is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Has anyone seen this problem before?
