In the end, having written a self-contained package is a "feature" of that package. Other authors can then say: ok, I can plugin your package if it's self-contained.
Well said. It really should be possible to provide *self-contained* package hierarchies.
There are at least two people in this discussion that are trying hard to make use of packages and have observed a significant problem.
OK, just to make sure I understand this. You are saying that a ".." operation is needed in imports so that a package author with a package which looks like this: mypackage mypackage/sub1/mod1.py mypackage/sub2/mod2.py can write "import __.sub2.mod2" instead of "import mypackage.sub2.mod2" within the file mod1.py.
