[Pulp-dev] python namespace proposal

[Brian Bouterse]

+1 to all of the core stuff. Thank you for writing it up.

For the pulp_rpm case +0 to what you had written. I had imagined it with a
slightly different example, but I think in practice it's almost the same.

pip install pulp_rpm
from pulp_rpm import anything

As an aside, I'm hoping that plugins only have to provide a server package
and that by installing it on the server the CLI will know about the
additional command set somehow. If so this would avoid plugin writers
having to make additional pulp_rpm_common and pulp_rpm_cli pip packages. If
we can't do that then I would think the pip and import for a plugin like
RPM would be:

pip install pulp_rpm
pip install pulp_rpm_common
pip install pulp_rpm_cli

from pulp_rpm import anything
from pulp_rpm import cli
from pulp_rpm import common

Does ^ make sense? Is that similar or different to how others imagined it?
It's slightly different than the example given by @mrhivnak, but in
practice I don't think it is different.
