With setuptools this doesn't work, because the package is distributed over multiple egg-directories. AFAICR setuptools has a solution for this, but only if the package __init__.py is empty (because setuptools generates it). But I'd like to put at least a useful docstring into this __init__.py.
Actually, I believe that recent versions of setuptools actually do support your use case.
Yes (except for the "docstring in __init__.py" bit).
In fact, I seem to recall having emailed you once I got it to work with your scenario, and you told me you'd already decided not to use it.
Yes, however I'm still thinking about changing my package structure to be able to use setuptools.
But it's late at night now and I'm tired and should stop answering these emails for now anyway.
