In Python, a namespace package allows you to spread Python code among several projects. This is useful when you want to release related libraries as separate downloads. For example, with the directories Package-1 and Package-2 in PYTHONPATH,

Package-1/namespace/__init__.py
Package-1/namespace/module1/__init__.py
Package-2/namespace/__init__.py
Package-2/namespace/module2/__init__.py

the end-user can import namespace.module1 and import namespace.module2.

What's the best way to define a namespace package so more than one Python product can define modules in that namespace?

namespaces package python
