Python is a versatile language that lends itself well to a wide range of projects, from simple scripts to complex, enterprise-level applications. As your codebase grows, managing dependencies and maintaining a clean, organized structure becomes increasingly challenging. This is where namespace packages come into play, providing a powerful solution for organizing and sharing code across multiple packages or applications.
What are Namespace Packages?
A namespace package is a special kind of Python package that allows you to distribute a single logical package across multiple directories or even multiple projects. This concept is particularly useful when you need to share code between different parts of a large project or across multiple projects.
In traditional Python packages, all the modules and subpackages must reside within a single parent directory. However, namespace packages break this convention by allowing you to split your package across multiple directories, each potentially located in different parts of your project or even on different machines.
