[Distutils] Given a distribution, find the Python modules (Was: finding a package namespace)

Hi,

What’s the use case?

You should be able to simplify that a bit, I’ll try to post something on
Stack Overflow later.

Here are some ideas:
- run setup.py install in a temp directory and detect modules
- run setuptools’ egg_info command and introspect one of the files it
creates

Cheers
