The problem has nothing to do with /var/lib/python-support/pythonX.Y being added to sys.path, really. The root cause is a python-support feature which automatically creates namespace packages (empty __init__.py files) as necessary. > Now, back to the bug, I could fix it in python-nevow by using > python-central in place of python-support.

If python-central is fixed to create namespace packages, it will appear again. > A proposition from Christopher in a previous mail: > ,---- > | I can't offer opinions as to in which direction this should be > | resolved.

I think the real solution is to fix python-twisted to use python modules directories as God intended them to be. Removing the __init__.py check is a really simple change and will fix the issue as well. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
