[Distutils] modules in different folders but under same namespace

[Riccardo-Maria BIANCHI]

Thanks Robert and Tarek for your answer,

I implemented the __path__ solution, and it works perfectly. Thanks!

and sorry if I was off-topic: I thought that distutils had options for 
multi-folders setup, for "package_dir" and "packages" variables.

Best regards,

   Ric.
