Namespace is very useful. In my company, we use a root namespace (sact.*) and a sub-namespace for each big project (sact.nevrax.*, sact.storage.*).

See PEP 382: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0382/

Martin, could you shed some light on the state of that PEP?

Thanks Martin for the response, but I cannot understand how implement it after reading the PEP.

Hi Sébastien.  How does d2 handle namespaces?  It does not, because such a thing does not exist yet.  We don’t support setuptools’ namespace packages, but wait for the cleaned-up standardization thanks to to PEP 382.  That PEP hasn’t reached consensus yet, so it’s too early to implement it.  If that answers your question, I think I’ll close this bug: There’s nothing we can do now, and when PEP 382 is accepted, support will be added to d2.

Yes me neither. The PEP is hard to understand, maybe a pseudo-code example could shed some light

Eric: the PEP was accepted already IIRC, and its status is not up-to-date.

So it's just a matter of adding the implementation now. This bug can be a placeholder for its implementation if no other bug was opened for this yet

This message makes me think it is not accepted: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-May/100457.html

> Martin, could you shed some light on the state of that PEP?

It's implemented in a branch, and will likely be included in Python 3.3.

As a question about a proposed PEP which is not accepted and has a competitor (see python-threads about PEP 402), this is not really a bug report.  Closing.
