PEP 451 talks about this a little (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0451/#namespace-packages): """ Currently a path entry finder may return (None, portions) from find_loader() to indicate it found part of a possible namespace package. To achieve the same effect, find_spec() must return a spec with "loader" set to None (a.k.a. not set) and with submodule_search_locations set to the same portions as would have been provided by find_loader(). It's up to PathFinder how to handle such specs.
