Pardon my ignorance here. I'd just like to make sure this doesn't affect
me if I move my stuff to setuptools. Is a "namespace package
__init__.py" file different than, say, the "__init__.py" used in my
personal (and mythical) "logging" alternative package:

    flogging/
        __init__.py    <---- this guy
        handlers.py
        ...

?
