Formally added deprecation messages for namespace_packages
. The methodology that uses pkg_resources
and namespace_packages
for creating namespaces was already discouraged by the setuptools docs
</userguide/package_discovery>
and the Python Packaging User Guide <PyPUG:guides/packaging-namespace-packages>
, therefore this change just make the deprecation more official. Users can consider migrating to native/implicit namespaces (as introduced in 420
).
