[New-bugs-announce] [issue3902] distutils does not correctly create packages for compiled extensions

[Eyal Lotem]

New submission from Eyal Lotem <eyal.lotem+py at gmail.com>:

When using either the ext_package keyword argument to setup, or when
using the "pkg.name" module name notation to Extension instances,
distutils installs the compiled extensions into the appropriate package
directory.

However, distutils does not create an __init__.py file in that
directory, so it is not actually a package and is not importable.
