I think there's a valid case for bogarting the namespace in this instance, but let me know if there's a better way to do it::

# Method to use system libraries if available, otherwise use a bundled copy, # aka: make both system packagers and developers happy::

Relevant directories and files for this module:: + foo/ +- init.py ++ compat/ +- init.py ++ bar/ +- init.py +- bar.py foo/compat/bar/bar.py is a bundled module. foo/compat/bar/init.py has: try: from bar import * from bar import all except ImportError:: from foo.compat.bar.bar import * from foo.compat.bar.bar import all

I guess the usual caveats apply for dopplegangers / proxies. ;)
