I'm definitely _trying_ to use a standard approach...That is why I am here posting. Put simply this seems like a valid use case:
pip install foo.bar pip install -e svn+http://
Even if both tools have the namespace_package foo, the "foo.more" will not properly import.
How is this going against standard approaches?
I don’t know. Without seeing the source code for these packages (which Marius already asked for) everything is hypothetical. All I know is that I’m using namespaces successfully for over a decade now and never had the need to work around them.
Show us the code. We may be able to help better if we can try and reproduce. Otherwise, it’s hard.
It seems that KP case is either https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3160 or https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3, isn't it? Both come with sample code that demonstrate the problem. ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. lele@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.
