Remove the package/src/__init__.py and package/share/__init__.py . In your 
package/__init__.py, append the src/ and share/ directories to the __path__ 
list. E.g.


   import os
   import pkgutil

   for subdir in ['src', 'share']:
       __path__.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), subdir))
