Description Jonathan Bedard 2023-10-24 08:07:56 PDT
Currently, AutoInstall does not handle namespace packages (as documented by Python here https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/) well. This is because AutoInstall expects the package name to be a folder, and deletes the entire folder when uninstalling a package. This means that AutoInstall can't handle using two namespace packages which share a common parent package. Although we've been able to work around this issue with `aliases` so far, we should have autoinstall correctly handle this situation.
