Bug#644003: python-pkg-resources: child __path__ not updated when the parent is already a namespace package

[Arnaud Fontaine]

Package: python-pkg-resources
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

Could you please consider applying this patch[0]?

It  would  really help  as  zope2.12 package  (which  is  going to  be
uploaded soonish)  does not work  properly because of this  issue (for
example,  when  importing  zope.app, zope.app.__path__  contains  only
zope.app.appsetup, thus importing zope.app.container later on fails).

I have prepared a package including  this patch[1]. If you wish, I can
upload it.

Cheers,
Arnaud Fontaine
