I use so called "namespace packages" for this. Those are "virtual" packages "containing" a set of related "real" packages - individually manageable on PyPI. The "real" packages describe in their dependencies on which other packages they depend, among them (potentially) "friend" packages. An example is "dm.zope.rpc" and "dm.zope.rpc.wsdl_suds". In this case, "dm.zope.rpc" provides general rpc infrastructure for the web application framework Zope and implementations for some elementary rpc protocols and "dm.zipe.rpc.wsdl_suds" uses this infrastructure for the implementation of a WSDL based rpc protocol by means of "suds". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
