See https://packaging.python.org/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#creating-a-namespace-package. pkgutil style have limitations that we need to work around one way or the other, either we do this migration, or the oe_import logic needs to reimport all the packages to be imported to ensure new path additions are picked up. 90172 1 randy.macleod 2021-04-29 15:26:29 +0000 Chris is this still relevant now that we don't support python2? 90239 2 kergoth 2021-05-06 02:38:23 +0000 This is actually *more* relevant now that we don't support python 2, as the PEP that makes native python packages work was added in python 3.3 :) 90298 3 randy.macleod 2021-05-06 15:28:12 +0000 Hopefully you can work on it Chris! :)
