I think I released the dogpile.cache stuff incorrectly, actually =
installing the packages it seems like I got the namespace package stuff =
wrong.    I have the "pkg_resources.declare_namespace" directive in the =
dogpile/__init__.py of dogpile.cache but not of dogpile, and it appears =
that this needs to be exactly the opposite.

Can someone help me set up dogpile and dogpile.cache correctly?  Here's =
a paste of what *seems* to work:

http://paste.pocoo.org/show/581532/

the questions I have are:

1. Is it OK if I have "__version__" and a few other things in =
dogpile/__init__.py of the root project ?  this seems to work, as =
"dogpile" is always imported first, but the docs at =
http://packages.python.org/distribute/setuptools.html#namespace-packages =
might suggest otherwise:=20

"You must NOT include any other code and data in a namespace package=92s =
__init__.py. Even though it may appear to work during development, or =
when projects are installed as .egg files, it will not work when the =
projects are installed using =93system=94 packaging tools =96 in such =
cases the __init__.py files will not be installed, let alone executed."

2. since "dogpile" is always imported first it seems like I don't need =
anything in the dogpile/__init__.py of that of dogpile.cache ?

3. or is "dogpile" not always imported first in this scenario ?    how =
would I see that ?
