package name

[fariza]

Hi again
The name of the package is a little bit too common.
Many people have local packages or functions inside packages named data if possible I would recommend to change it to something else. Myself I had to rename my own package

[mbr]

You can fix namespace clashes with relative vs absolute imports.

Assuming your own package is named data:

import data            # will import the globally installed package
from . import data  # will import the local data

This behaviour is also the default since Python 3.0, you can get the same via from __future__ import absolute_imports on Python 2.x.

Other than that I consider PyPI the definite namespaces =).

yes, but in general you don't expect that kind of things. It was just a suggestion
