Another thought on static module namespace configuration: It would make things a lot easier for py2exe, py2app and the like that have to figure out what packages a program depends on without running the program.

Setuptools users already explicitly declare what projects their projects depend on; this is how easy_install can then find and install those dependencies. So, there is at least one system already available for Python that manages this type of thing already, and my understanding is that the py2exe and py2app developers plan to support using this dependency information in the future.
