This package's setup.py is auto-generating the packages list with the current working directory.


def get_packages(directory, prefix):
    """return a list of subpackages for the given directory"""
    result = []
    for package in os.listdir(directory):
        absfile = join(directory, package)
        if isdir(absfile):
            if exists(join(absfile, '__init__.py')) or \
                   package in ('test', 'tests'):
                if prefix:
                    result.append('%s.%s' % (prefix, package))
                else:
                    result.append(package)
                result += get_packages(absfile, result[-1])
    return result

...

packages = [modname] + get_packages(os.getcwd(), modname)

kwargs['packages'] = packages

setup(...
    **kwargs)

where modname is imported from __pkginfo__.py:
distname = 'logilab-common'
modname = 'common'


What's interesting is there is no explicit unicode string definition within this package list gerneration, yet the final packages list looks like:

['logilab.common', u'logilab.common.test', u'logilab.common.test.data', u'logilab.common.test.data.find_test', u'logilab.common.ureports']
