`com_spam.app1`!? I would even recommend this with domains that don't
clash with keywords because if several people start to use this package
name convention you will get name clashes at package level. Say there
are two vendors with a `com` TLD, how do you install their packages?
Into the same `com/` subdirectory? The `__init__.py` of which vendor
should live at the `com/` directory level? If you install them into two
different directories but want to import modules from both vendors -- how?

Ah, you have opened my eyes.
I should have asked myself before why I did not face such a clash.
(because no-one uses this convention!)
I guess the way to go is not use the tld, but just a unique company/
product name.
I personally tend to mix the approaches. Using setuptools, you can
declare so-called "namespace-packages".
I use one of these for all my projects at work. It is derived from the
companyname, and thus is unique. And all sub-packages for the various
projects can have names that describe them and sometimes would clash
with other projects (e.g. devtools, which also is a TurboGears-package)
