Description

Describe the bug

When using namespace packages (declared through setup.py as namespace_packages=[...]) coverage shows warnings "Already imported a file that will be measured" for the __init__.py files.

setup( # ... packages=['testcov'], namespace_packages=['testcov'], )

Those files simply contain the declare_namespace() call:

try: # pragma: no cover import('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(name) except ImportError: # pragma: no cover from pkgutil import extend_path path = extend_path(path, name)

To Reproduce
How can we reproduce the problem? Please be specific.

1. What version of Python are you using? 3.6
2. What version of coverage.py are you using? 5.0
3. What versions of what packages do you have installed? Only coverage 5.0
4. What code are you running? Give us a specific commit of a specific repo that we can check out.
   I made a minimal example here: https://github.com/remram44/coverage-bug-888
   Warning shows up in Travis: https://travis-ci.org/remram44/coverage-bug-888/builds/625849023#L460
5. What commands did you run? coverage run --source=/tmp/testcov/app,/tmp/testcov/plugin app/testcov/main.py (see run.sh in repo)

Expected behavior

I didn't expect to see a warning.
