Abstract
========
-Namespace packages are a mechanism for splitting a single Python package
-across multiple directories on disk. In current Python versions, an algorithm
-to compute the packages __path__ must be formulated. With the enhancement
-proposed here, the import machinery itself will construct the list of
-directories that make up the package.

Terminology
===========
Within this PEP, the term package refers to Python packages as defined
-by Python's import statement. The term distribution refers to separately
-installable sets of Python modules as stored in the Python package index,
-and installed by distutils or setuptools. The term vendor package refers
-to groups of files installed by an operating system's packaging mechanism
-(e.g. Debian or Redhat packages install on Linux systems).

The term portion refers to a set of files in a single directory (possibly
stored in a zip file) that contribute to a namespace package.
