[Pythonmac-SIG] __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)

[Erik van Blokland]

I've found something interesting.

When using setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg importing pkg_resources causes Carbon
and PyObjCTools to be loaded. With  setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg this is not
the case.

This is relevant in situations where one doesn't want to import OSX API
modules before daemonising a process. For instance, when starting a twisted
server.

I don't know about why the c11 version imports these modules. I'm glad I
found a workaround. But the problem is bound to come back. So, any clues to
what c11 does that c9 doesn't?

Thanks!
Erik
