Abstract
========
Namespace packages are a mechanism for splitting a single Python package
across multiple directories on disk. In current Python versions, an algorithm
to compute the packages __path__ must be formulated. With the enhancement
proposed here, the import machinery itself will construct the list of
directories that make up the package.

Terminology
===========
Within this PEP, the term package refers to Python packages as defined
by Python's import statement. The term distribution refers to separately
installable sets of Python modules as stored in the Python package index,
and installed by distutils or setuptools. The term vendor package refers
to groups of files installed by an operating system's packaging mechanism
(e.g. Debian or Redhat packages install on Linux systems).

The term portion refers to a set of files in a single directory (possibly
stored in a zip file) that contribute to a namespace package.
