please add empty __init__.py file inside jaraco folder when installing via pip install irc without that file jaraco package not being recognized as a python package, and for example cx_Freeze can't include it correctly when freezing application

jaraco is a namespace package, and thus should not have the __init__ (per PEP 420 and pip conventions). But if you look at the source, the file is there and it has a declare_namespace directive in it. It's pip that removes that file. You probably need to file a ticket with cx_Freeze to have it load the metadata for the installed packages to determine which packages are namespace packages.

If you do find a jaraco.* package that doesn't have a jaraco/__init__.py in the source, that's a bug. But I don't think you'll find such a thing.
