    Once again on this:

    With the introduction of module folders
    without __init__, it has become even harder to deduce a sensible
    project root
    Dir without relying on a global settings file. Abd as you probably
    agree, such files are a bad idea. Any global is bad, also in the
    file system.

    Guido, this is another reason why I dislike the absence of __init__. :

    Rhere is no longer an indicator that pretty clearly defines the
    root of my module heirarchy.


This came up during the discussions leading up to PEP 420, particularly regarding the impact on PEP 395. My thoughts at the time on addressing the problem:

I do not quite understand what you want to propose:

"""

* there is no __init__.py in the current directory (in the case where
there was one adjacent to the original module)
* current directory is on sys.path
* setup.py is in the current directory

"""

Are you saying that this is a way for me to get at the project root?
And can this be done with a one-liner, or would I need a module for that,
where the cat would bite its tail, because that module would not be found,
easily?

Please tell me in a simpler way what you think  ;-)

ciao - Chris
