I think these packages are wrong upstream. The `sphinxcontrib`
directory is provided by python3-sphinx, and it specifically doesn't
have `__init__.py` there. Those extensions should not be adding one,
so as to keep the implicit namespace package nature of that directory:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#native-namespace-packages
By the contents of the files, it appears they are trying to force it
to be a pkg_resources-style namespace package:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#pkg-resources-style-namespace-packages
But since Sphinx didn't do that in the first place, there's no
guarantee that other packages will contain `__init__.py` (and indeed
most do not).
Thank you, Elliott. That's good information. I will talk to the
respective upstreams about this.
For more context about Python namesapace packages, I recommend this thread
(particularly Toshio's reply):
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packag...@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZCNEOK2M67HMHM73CRSB3A4FDFLIS6I2/
As for the `sphinxcontrib` directory provided by python3-sphinx - note that
this is done downstream.
