nice error for missing __init__.py

[zsol...@gmail.com]

Upon upgrading to 2.0 I just removed my empty __init__.py files or at least I tried to (hoping I won't need them any more).

Eventually I realised I had to put some of them back as config.scan() broke without them.

My recommendation is that if possible, can you make a better error message for this? Because I basically got a 73 line long stack trace, which contained absolutely no information about what is the problem. I mean, just as a nice to have, for other users who happen run into this very long stacktrace.

The stack trace you just posted is related to Jinja2 and attempts to use pkg_resources (in fact it is failing inside pkg_resources) not config.scan()…

As for the venusian issue (and related pkg_resources issues) of not being able to scan folders without __init__.py see https://github.com/Pylons/venusian/issues/68
