Thank you for your suggestion. I solved changing my structure a little bit:
python_libs/
|---- src
| |---- setup_foo.py
| |---- foo
| | |---- __init__.py
| | |---- foo_module.py
| |---- bar
| | |---- __init__.py
| | |---- bar_module.py
| |---- common
| | |---- __init__.py
| | |---- common_module.py
And changed setup_foo.py like this:
setup(name='foo',
version='0.1',
description="foo and common packages",
packages=find_packages(exclude=['bar', 'bar.*']),
zip_safe=False,
...
Now everything works as expected. Maybe as you said an "out of source" build
is not well supported.

That's of course a good idea, but for now my project is made up of just three
packages and I find this solution quite handy.
Thanks again!
