ns.py

Declaring namespaces in one Python file

Ever feel that having a requirement on pkg_resources just so you can do sane namespaces in Python is a little much? If so, this package is for you. It aims to be a simple, one-file replacement for that single function and all of the craziness it adds.

.. warning:: This isn't production ready yet. It's got tests, and those tests have been run on exactly two platforms. Not what you'd call battle-tested. But if you're interested in making a viable alternative to pkg_resources for Python, please fork this project and help.

Usage

It's simple. You import declare, and call it.

::

from ns import declare
declare(__name__)

Acknowledgements

pkg_resources provided the jumping off point for this code. Without it, I'd probably still be scratching my head over recursively walking the module path.

Peter Wang_ convinced me over beer that we should try to do this.
