So I have a very simple proposal: keep the __init__.py requirement for top-level pacakages, but drop it for subpackages. This should be a small change. I'm hesitant to propose *anything* new for Python 2.5, so I'm proposing it for 2.6; if Neal and Anthony think this would be okay to add to 2.5, they can do so.
-1 from me. I had never a problem with __init__.py to mark a package or subpackage. Better add __namespace__.py to state a package dir as namespace package. And support multiple occurrences of "on_python_path/namespace_name/package". -- bye by Wolfgang
