[issue29642] Why does unittest.TestLoader.discover still rely on existence of __init__.py files?

[INADA Naoki]

INADA Naoki added the comment:

When using import, (namespace) package name is explicitly specified.
Only specified name is searched.

In test loader's case, there are no such limit.
Loader may search millions of completely unrelated directories.
It may include directories in NFS or samba over slow network.
