[Python-Dev] Empty directory is a namespace?

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello,

I've just noticed the following:

$ mkdir foo
$ ./python
Python 3.3.0a4+ (default:837d51ba1aa2+1794308c1ea7+, Jun 23 2012,
14:43:41) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import foo
>>> foo
<module 'foo' (namespace)>


Should even an empty directory be a valid namespace package?

Regards

Antoine.
