Switch to pkgutil namespace package for svg #24

Closed jaraco closed 5 years ago

jaraco commented 5 years ago

I'd like to switch the namespace packaging technique for the 'svg' namespace from pkg_resources-style namespace packages to a pkgutil-based namespace package.

Doing so would make late releases of svg.* packages incompatible with prior releases and vice versa.

A quick search on pypi turned up that svg.path would be impacted (and the switch should be coordinated). There may be others, but I ran into problems searching, so I'm going to assume for now that this and svg.path are the only two packages supplying this namespace. I'll file a ticket with that project also to see if making the switch could be viable.
