However, since this is not egg-specific it should probably be moved to pkgutil and get a separate PEP with detailed documentation (the link you provided doesn't really explain the concepts, reading the code helped a bit). That doesn't really make sense in the context of the current PEP, though, which isn't to provide a general-purpose namespace package API; it's specifically about adding an existing piece of code to the stdlib, with its API intact.

You seem to indicate that you're not up to discussing the concepts implemented by the module and integrating them with the Python stdlib.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if the whole point of the PEP is a take it or leave it decision, then I don't see the point of discussing it. I'm -1 on adding the module in its current state; I'd be +1 on integrating the concepts with the Python stdlib.

Hope I'm wrong,
