[15:19:15] <hazzy> hello

[15:20:32] <hazzy> I am working on some namespace packages for distributing app plugins, and everything is working nicely when I install with pip

[15:21:39] <hazzy> the problem is when I uninstall with `pip uninstall my-namespace.my-package` pip removes the __init__.py file in the name space package braking the install

[15:22:21] <hazzy> is there any way to tell pip to not remove the __init__.py in the name space?

[15:26:10] <toad_polo> hazzy: I think not.

[15:26:26] <toad_polo> hazzy: Is this Python 3-only?

[15:27:05] <toad_polo> Ideally what you would do is use a PEP 420 implicit namespace package: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/

[15:28:36] <toad_polo> Alternatively you could supply the `__init__.py` in a core package that *only* supplies the namespace (and require that only on Python 2), and not put separate `__init__.py` files in each plugin.

[16:12:36] <hazzy> toad_polo: Unfortunately I am stuck with Py2.7

[16:13:02] <hazzy> using a separate package for the __init__.py is an interesting Idea, will try that

[16:13:05] <hazzy> thanks!

[16:13:09] <toad_polo> Sure.

[18:40:13] <pradyunsg> in case anyone's interested: poetry now uses a 'poetry-core' for the pyproject.toml declaration; similar to how flit handles the CLI tool + build-tool distinction.

[19:52:42] <saptaks> pradyunsg, interesting
